This time, the hackers targeted Booking.com customers who booked hotels on the OTA.

The system studied by cybercriminals consists of sending a message to the customer notifying them of a payment error on the Booking site, and they are asked to redo the transaction via a fraudulent link which leads the customer to be a victim of phishing.

The site immediately issued a note reminding that “no regular transaction will require you to provide your credit card details over the phone, via text message, or via email.”
