Airbnb discloses new data breach
According to ZDNet, Airbnb has confirmed that a “technical issue” allowed Airbnb hosts to access inboxes that did not belong to them. The data breach gave inadvertent access to some users, though Airbnb says they were not able to modify any of the leaked data. Several screenshots appear to reveal information including host names and profile pictures, booking earnings, the number of bookings over a 30-day period, and property views.
