Corporate travel firm BCD Travel breach exposes 396,000 accounts

Have I Been Pwned has added BCD Travel - one of the world's largest corporate travel-management companies - to its breach corpus with 396,313 unique email addresses. BCD Travel arranges business travel for large enterprises and government clients worldwide, so the exposed dataset likely skews toward corporate and frequent-traveler accounts. As is typical for HIBP additions, the underlying breach source and disclosure details are not published alongside the entry, but the listing lets individuals and organizations check whether their accounts appear in the leaked dataset. Affected travelers should anticipate travel-themed phishing - itinerary updates, booking confirmations, loyalty-program lures - and should rotate any reused passwords and enable MFA.

Check
Check whether your @company emails appear in HIBP's BCD Travel corpus. Warn business travelers about itinerary, booking-confirmation, and loyalty-program phishing over the next 60-90 days.
Affected
396,313 unique email addresses tied to BCD Travel corporate-travel accounts. Dataset likely skews toward enterprise and government frequent travelers, raising targeted travel-themed phishing risk.
Fix
Affected individuals: rotate BCD Travel passwords and any reused elsewhere, enable MFA, scrutinize unsolicited travel emails. Organizations: add BCD Travel to breach-monitoring watchlists and brief traveling staff.

Booking.com confirms data breach exposing guest reservation details - phishing wave already targeting travelers

Booking.com has confirmed unauthorized access to its systems that exposed guest reservation data including names, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, booking details, and any messages shared with accommodation providers. The company began emailing affected customers over the weekend but did not send alerts via the Booking.com app, creating confusion about whether the notification emails were legitimate. Booking.com says financial data was not accessed. The company has reset PIN numbers for affected reservations. The number of impacted users has not been disclosed, though Booking.com lists 6.8 billion bookings since 2010 across 30+ million properties. Reddit users are already reporting scam messages from people who appear to have real reservation details, suggesting attackers are using the stolen data for targeted phishing. The Register notes this follows a similar 2021 breach pattern where attackers compromised hotel staff logins to access the platform.

Check
If you or your employees have upcoming Booking.com reservations, be on high alert for phishing emails and messages that reference real booking details. The scams will look convincing because the attackers have the actual reservation data.
Affected
Anyone with active or recent Booking.com reservations. The exposed data (names, emails, phones, addresses, booking details, messages to hotels) gives attackers everything needed for highly targeted phishing.
Fix
Do not click links in any emails claiming to be from Booking.com or your booked hotel - go directly to booking.com to check your reservations. Verify that your booking PIN has been reset (Booking.com says they've done this automatically). Watch for emails requesting payment changes, 'verification' of card details, or 'reservation confirmations' that link to non-booking.com domains. If you uploaded passport or ID copies for your reservation, monitor for identity fraud. Note that passport/ID exposure was not confirmed by Booking.com but many hotels require these documents.
