A hotelier from the Côte d'Azur launches a petition against Booking.com. Guests of the “Le Provençal” hotel in Villefranche-sur-Mer paid twice for their stay due to a hack of the messaging system.

The company Booking,com says it is “aware’ of the problem, but defends itself against widespread hacking on its site. “This is not a breach of the systems but a coordinated fraud against partner customers, targeted by phishing emails,” specifies a spokesperson.
