Loyalty Accounts Hacked and Sold on Dark Web Targeting Travelers

Cybersecurity researchers have reported that loyalty accounts associated with major airlines and hotel chains are being hacked and sold on dark web forums. Affected individuals, particularly travelers in Chicago, are urged to review their accounts as stolen profiles with significant miles or points are being sold for as little as $0.75 to $200, allowing scammers to drain balances or book trips. Users are advised to implement strong passwords and multi-factor authentication to protect their accounts.
