Up to 880,000 Credit Cards Accessed in Orbitz Data Breach

If you’ve booked trips through Orbitz, hackers may have accessed your credit card or other payment card information in a recent attack.

The consumer data in question is from an older booking platform, where information may have been accessed between October and December 2017, and data from an Orbitz partner platform, including travel booked via Amex Travel, submitted between January 1st, 2016 and December 22nd, 2017.

Reports from March 20, 2018 state that up to 880,000 payment card numbers and related information could’ve been exposed in a data breach. The additional information could include:

Customer’s full name
Date of birth
Phone number
Email address
Physical or billing address
Gender

Orbitz, which is owned by Expedia, had two different data disclosures - trips booked  between October and December 2017 and trips booked via Amex Travel between January 1st, 2016 and December 22nd, 2017.

Check your credit reports, and be alert for fraud if you booked a trip during these times.

Orbitz says its current Orbitz.com website wasn’t involved in this incident. It is notifying customers who may have been impacted and is offering a year of free credit monitoring.
