Booking.com and Baydöner Hit by Data Breaches: Millions of PII Records Exposed
Baydöner suffered a massive breach, exposing 3.7 million records covering registered users, CRM clients, and deep order histories. Concurrently, Booking.com confirmed unauthorized third parties accessed customer booking information.
The immediate fallout is split. The company claims financial data was untouched. However, 'phutatorius' dismisses immediate fixes, labeling PIN resets as merely 'shutting the barn door after the horse has run off.' Meanwhile, 'artwork' sharpened the focus, detailing the exposed data pool includes not just generalized exposure but specific bookings, names, emails, addresses, and phone numbers.
The community views the company's damage control skeptically. While platforms confirm the breach, the detailed account of personal data theft—specifically the comprehensive nature of the compromised records—is the dominant concern. The consensus points to significant, actionable risk to user privacy.
