It's distressing to hear about the potential data breach affecting around 1.5 million individuals associated with Taj Hotels. The breach, reportedly orchestrated by someone known as 'Dnacookies', allegedly involves sensitive personal information like addresses, membership IDs, mobile numbers, and other identifiable details.
The spokesperson from Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL), the entity managing the Taj Group, emphasized the criticality of customer data security and assured their active investigation into the matter.
They've taken steps to notify relevant authorities while continuously monitoring their systems for any potential security issues. As per their statement, there's no indication of an ongoing security threat or disruptions to their business operations.
However, it's noteworthy that the Delhi Police has yet to confirm the receipt of any complaint from the Taj Group regarding this incident.
This situation underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and prompt reporting of such breaches to authorities to mitigate potential risks and protect individuals' sensitive information.
