A hotel check-in system left the personal identity documents of approximately one million customers exposed online, according to TechCrunch.
The technology company maintaining the system had improperly configured its cloud storage to public access, allowing anyone to view passports and driver's licenses without requiring a password or authentication.
The exposure represents a significant data security breach affecting multiple hospitality chains. The vulnerability highlights ongoing risks in hotel industry infrastructure and raises questions about how travel companies handle sensitive biometric and identity information collected during guest registration.
