Irish holidaymakers are being targeted by a sophisticated scam involving fake WhatsApp messages and emails, claiming to be from Booking.com. The messages urge recipients to confirm and pay for their bookings again to avoid losing them. The scam follows a data breach on the accommodation website in April, where unauthorized parties gained access to customer details. Holidaymakers are advised to stay alert and be cautious of any such messages.
