Over the past few days, there have been reports of fraudulent attempts targeting travelers, carried out via email, text message, or WhatsApp messages referring to real bookings.
These communications may appear credible as they include accurate information about the stay and often request payments for balances, deposits, or alleged booking modifications.
This situation involves the improper use of contact details and booking information by external parties, so as to induce guests to make fraudulent payments.
As data controllers, we inform you that the provider of the booking management platform (KrossBooking – Solutions Plus S.r.l.), acting as data processor pursuant to Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), has reported a security incident affecting its systems.
This event constitutes a personal data breach pursuant to Article 4(12) of the GDPR, with possible involvement of certain bookings managed through their platform.
According to the information received, the data potentially affected includes contact details and booking information (such as name, email address, phone number, and stay dates). No payment data or identity documents were involved.
In accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, we have:
- notified the incident to the Italian Data Protection Authority within the timeframe required by law;
