Data Security Agoda refutes claims of massive data breach April 22, 2026 Share By SC Staff (Adobe Stock) Asia-centric booking platform Agoda has denied the alleged theft of 82 million records from its systems just a week after its parent firm Booking Holdings disclosed having been subjected to a Booking.com data breach that exposed user reservation details, according to Cybernews . "There is no truth to this, we have validated the information and none of it is Agoda data," said an Agoda spokesperson. Analysis of the sample of 23 records provided by attackers revealed information from guests, particularly from Malaysian users, including full names, identity card numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, and hotel addresses, reported Cybernews researchers. While the absence of dates of stay in the sample was deemed unusual, researchers testified to the legitimacy of the leaked data. Such a development comes after Booking.com confirmed the compromise of its users' names, phone numbers, email addresses, and reservation details in a cyberattack, which has already resulted in multiple reservation hijacking scams in North America, Europe, and the UK.
