Cyberattacke: Hackerangriff auf Kempinski: Gästedaten abgegriffen
Die Hotelkette Kempinski ist von einem Hackerangriff betroffen. Dabei wurden Gästedaten abgegriffen - Vorsicht daher vor Betrugsmails.
A cyberattack targeted the Kempinski luxury hotel chain, resulting in the theft of guest data. The Kempinski Adlon hotel in Berlin's central district was also affected, according to a press spokesperson. Payment information was not among the stolen data. Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and reservation details were reportedly taken, as reported by the hotel news portal "Hotelvor9".
The stolen information was reportedly used to contact guests. The attackers allegedly impersonated Kempinski hotel representatives, demanding payments. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant for fraudulent emails. Cybercriminals often pilfer booking data and pose as representatives of hotels, inns, or vacation rentals. With the data, the scam appears more credible.
Guests should refrain from clicking on links or responding to such messages. If they inadvertently respond and provide payment information, they should promptly block their card, inform their bank, and notify the police.
