They appear to use a third-party booking system, so I suspect that that’s been hacked.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If you're planning to go to Spa this summer, and have a reservation at Hotel de la Source:
I received a WhatsApp message last night purporting to be from the Hotel de la Source reservation system. It had my correct details (name, reservation number, start/end of stay) and asking me to click on a link to update/confirm the reservation,
This is a scam/phishing message, so please be careful!
In my case it's for the 15/16 september (RSR track day).

I suppose that the breach could be at my end, though I don’t think so, as I monitor my devices and systems fairly closely.
Currently on hols touring Champagne region. Have had two of these WhatsApp messages for different hotels. Very nearly fell for the first one as I was busy doing something else and nearly re-entered my card details 😳
I believe this is related to Booking.com.
It can affect any hotel that allows rooms to be booked booking.com.
Seems their booking system extracts way more information than it should, so sees all bookings made with the hotel and it is this that’s been compromised.
I have also had this a few weeks ago in France.
I also nearly got hooked in as I was in holiday mode but saved myself.
It's from Booking.com details I am sure

Ah - thanks for the info!
With all these aggregators sharing data all over the place you start to have way too many places where the data can leak...
