Booking.com hit with €475K penalty for failing to report a breach within 72 hours

Posted on March 31, 2021 by Dissent

Politico reports:

Hotel booking site Booking.com got hit with a €475,000 fine for being late to report a data breach, the company’s lead EU privacy regulator announced Wednesday.

The fine, imposed by the Dutch data protection authority because the company is legally established in Amsterdam, came after criminals stole the personal data of more than 4,000 Booking.com customers — obtaining the credit card details of nearly 300 victims.

The website received the penalty for missing a 72-hour deadline to report the breach to the regulator, which it did on February 4, 2019 — almost a month after it suffered the breach.
