Executive Summary
In September 2020, hotel booking platform RedDoorz suffered a data breach exposing 5,890,277 accounts. Attackers obtained an Amazon Web Services access key embedded in a 2015 RedDoorz Android app and used it to reach the customer database. Exposed data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, genders, dates of birth, occupations, and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Masked credit-card numbers were not compromised.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure creates phishing, travel fraud, impersonation of hotel staff, and physical-security concerns tied to travel patterns and lodging behavior. Booking context makes scams easier to personalize.
Breach Impact
Bcrypt limits password recovery, so the main exposure is the identity/contact set (name, DOB, phone, occupation), useful for profiling and targeted phishing.
