Two-thirds of hotel websites inadvertently leak guests’ personal data to third-party companies and leave customers vulnerable to hackers, a new report has revealed. Research by cyber security firm Symantec has found the majority of hotels use booking systems that could allow scammers to access information such as mobile phone numbers and passport details. The report found confirmation emails sent to customers often contain an unsecured direct link to their booking, meaning anyone on the same network could intercept the email and modify or cancel their reservation.
