Japanese Hotel Chain Notifies 125K Guests of Software Provider Breach

by David Bisson on June 27, 2018

The hotel chain company said the incident could have exposed the personal information including names, addresses, email addresses and booking details of 58,003 guests who stayed at 43 of its hotels between May 2017 and June 2018. It disclosed the event might have also affected the payment data of 66,960 guests who made reservations and confirmed reservation through its system for international guests at 39 of its locations before August 2017.

It still took the steps to notify the Personal Information Protection Commission, a Japanese government entity which is responsible for protecting people’s personal information. It also reassured customers that it’s committed to keeping them updated about the incident. As quoted in its notice:

FastBooking responded by contacting each affected hotel, including Prince Hotels (Read more...)
