Your upcoming travel plans could be at risk, even if you booked through a trusted site like Booking.com. There's a new scam targeting reservations that could leave you stranded or extorted, and it's surprisingly hard to spot.
Hackers are hijacking Booking.com reservations, sending fake messages to guests right through the official platform.
This isn't a simple phishing email; bad actors are gaining access to hotel accounts on Booking.com's system, then messaging guests directly from what appears to be the hotel's legitimate profile.
