With Summer approaching in just a month, the travel season is starting to bloom. However, as we enter one of the busiest travel seasons yet, a surge in travel plans unfortunately is accompanied by a surge in security threat risks all the way from travel to hospitality scams and everything in between.
The BforeAI threat research team at PreCrime Labs has released their latest research determining the level of travel-related scam activity being actively planned for the 2025 travel season targeting the travel and hospitality sector. Research identified over 5,000 newly registered travel-related domains and significant update activity to over 6,000 existing relevant domains in the first quarter of 2025.
Additionally, the research exposed several campaigns that targeted travel victims filled with special flight giveaways, websites threatening to expose companies, and scams associated with lodging.
With holiday travel surges, organizations must address the threat landscape extending beyond the traditional booking scams and typosquatting attempts, that further can extend to unconventional job offers, crypto coins, and integration of AI.
