Agoda Denies Data Breach as Cybercriminals Claim Theft of 82 Million Records Asia-based travel booking platform Agoda has refuted claims of a data breach after cybercriminals alleged the theft of 82 million user records. An Agoda spokesperson stated that internal investigations confirmed the leaked data did not originate from its systems. Researchers at Cybernews analyzed a sample of 23 records provided by the attackers, which included sensitive details such as full names, identity card numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, and hotel addresses primarily linked to Malaysian users. Notably, the sample lacked reservation dates, an unusual omission that raised questions about the data’s origin. Despite this, the researchers verified the legitimacy of the exposed information. The incident follows a recent confirmation by Agoda’s parent company, Booking Holdings, of a separate breach affecting Booking.com users. That attack exposed names, phone numbers, email addresses, and reservation details, leading to a surge in reservation hijacking scams across North America, Europe, and the UK. The timing of the two incidents has heightened concerns about cybersecurity risks in the travel industry.
