Hospitality giant Indian Hotels said it’s probing the alleged theft of sensitive data from its systems after a criminal claimed to have stolen data pertaining to 1.5 million customers.
The criminal, who uses the moniker “dnacookes,” recently announced the theft in a post to the English-language cybercrime forum BreachForums. They claim they stole the data in 2020 and that it includes personal details, including name, email address, phone number, birthdate and address, for 1.5 million customers of the high-end Taj Hotels chain from 2014 through 2020.
