The brands, owned by Hotelplan UK, were hit by IT disruption over the weekend across several systems. Hotelplan disclosed the attack on Tuesday (12 December).
“Unfortunately, our initial investigations have confirmed that this disruption has been caused by a cybersecurity incident,” it said in a statement. “As a result, we have taken steps to isolate and shut down key systems.”
Hotelpan added it was taking the same precautions across all five brands. “We are now working hard to restore our systems; and in parallel, we are conducting a thorough investigation to understand the precise scope and nature of the disruption," the statement continued.
