🚨 If you booked a hotel through Booking.com, read this before your next trip.

Attackers are hijacking hotel partner accounts, stealing REAL reservation details, and sending convincing phishing messages with your hotel name, booking ID, and check-in date. Booking.com has suffered a major data breach.

This isn't a fake database leak. It's a supply chain security failure affecting hotels worldwide, with Japan currently at the center of the latest campaign.

So when asked:

* #Zalando loves the #DMA but wants to repeal the #DSA.
* #Bookingcom loves the #Ecommerce Directive but [I missed what they want to repeal]
* #Idealo loves #antitrust but wants to "clean up the #cookie banner industrial complex" (while keeping #GDPR).

My verdict: Based on this legal panel (only), it appears Idealo might be the most ethical company of the three. :)

Oh my the conversation has now arrived at #DigitalSovereignty and of course they say how bad it is the things people use are "not European." 🙄

Well at least the #Zalando rep called for a "swift application of the #DMA."

#Bookingcom seems to be more concerned about #protectionism and instead says companies should become more resilient by keeping supply chain "optionality," aka stay flexible and avoid vendor lock-in.

Next up: the first industry panel featuring #Zalando, #Idealo, and #Bookingcom.

Of course it took only minutes for the first company (Zalando) shooting at The Bad Regulation that allegedly stifles "innovation."

Interestingly, the Booking.com rep disagrees and rather points to fragmented implementation across the EU, which I think is a fair point. She's clearly trying to present Booking as one of the good guys: "we want to comply."
