Booking platform breach exposes around 6,000 ACT park visitors' data
A Bookeasy platform hack exposed personal details of about 6,000 ACT park users. This included their addresses, emails and phone numbers.
The ACT government has turned off Bookeasy, a booking tool used for campgrounds and park reservations across several Australian states. The breach leaked personal and booking information, but no credit card data was found.
The ACT government has warned about 6,000 affected users to stay careful. Campers and visitors have already received suspicious emails and messages trying to scam them or steal their information.
The government said VisitCanberra, its tourism platform, was also hit. Queensland, Victoria and South Australia had similar hacks this week.
People can still make bookings through government websites directly. Officials ask people to be very careful when they get unexpected messages.
