But what are the most common cyber-attacks in hotels?<\/p>\n<h2>Spear phishing<\/h2>\n<p>As a variant of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/en\/what-is-phishing-how-does-it-work-and-how-to-protect-yourself\/\"><strong>phishing<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/en\/what-is-email-spoofing\/\">spear phishing<\/a> is a very sophisticated attack. The cybercriminal, by researching the hotel&#8217;s website or a professional network such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/esferize-comunicaciones\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <strong>obtains the hotel&#8217;s booking email address<\/strong>. Once they have it, they carry out a first attack to obtain the <strong>credentials of the account<\/strong> and impersonate the hotel. From there, the cybercriminal becomes the <strong>manager of the bookings<\/strong> and <strong>collects the money<\/strong> from them in his own <strong>bank account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Web cloning<\/h2>\n<p>An <strong>exact clone of the hotel&#8217;s website<\/strong> is literally made or one as similar as possible is developed. The aim is to <strong>trick prospective guests<\/strong> into accessing the fraudulent website and <strong>booking through it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Wi-Fi<\/h2>\n<p>It goes without saying that most hotels nowadays provide their guests with a Wi-Fi connection. However, the hotel has to take into account that the internal network must be segmented from the guest network to preserve its security. In addition, it is highly recommended to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/desarrollos-propios\/portal-cautivo-magallanes\/\"><strong>captive portal<\/strong><\/a> that manages the traffic and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/en\/captive-portal-everything-you-need-to-know\/\"><strong>offers a series of advantages for the hotel<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>BYOD attacks<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/en\/security-in-the-company-with-byod\/\"><strong>Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)<\/strong> <\/a><strong>has exploded as a result of teleworking<\/strong>, whether using mobiles, tablets or laptops. This has resulted in a <strong>lack of security control by companies<\/strong>, which has led to an increase in incidents and cyber-attacks that pose a <strong>great risk to the entire company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Supply chain<\/h2>\n<p>Most hotel booking websites in turn connect to <strong>various intermediaries<\/strong>. This situation is exploited by cybercriminals to <strong>obtain customer information<\/strong> through any of these companies. They even achieve their goal of <strong>stealing credentials<\/strong> through them to carry out a <strong>more targeted attack<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>QRishing<\/h2>\n<p>Although less common in the hotel environment than in the hospitality industry, attackers can take advantage of the opportunity to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esferize.com\/en\/qrishing-new-phishing-variant\/\"><strong>alter the QR code<\/strong><\/a>. Whether through the code on the restaurant menu or hotel services, the criminal will attempt to redirect guests to a <strong>fraudulent link<\/strong>, <strong>infecting and compromising the security of their devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cybercrime has multiplied exponentially in recent years in all sectors,  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6720,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[225,224,228],"tags":[1181,264,531,1180,500,405,1177,1178,1179,1176,786],"class_list":["post-6722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","category-hotels","category-security-on-the-internet","tag-captive-portal-hotel","tag-cybercrime","tag-hotel-en","tag-hotel-security","tag-hotel-solutions","tag-hotels","tag-hotels-attacks","tag-hotels-cyber-attacks","tag-hotels-cybersecurity","tag-spear-phishing-en","tag-wifi-hotel-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The most common cyber-attacks in hotels - Esferize<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cybercrime has multiplied exponentially in the hotel sector.
