Booking.com Breach Exposes Customer Data via Third-Party Vendor

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Booking.com confirmed unauthorized third-party access to customer reservation data, including names, addresses, and phone numbers. The core platform was not compromised; the breach originated from a vendor in the booking workflow. The incident highlights the growing risk of vendor-chain attacks in SaaS ecosystems.

Meridian48 take
The breach is less about Booking.com's security and more a reminder that vendor-chain attacks remain an under-tested vulnerability across the industry.
