-
dbo.booking_backup: Holds 784,000 rows of data, featuring sensitive customer information such as names, addresses, email addresses, booking histories, and revenue data. This table contains personal and financial details of clients from the UK, United States, and Saint Lucia.
The data samples provided by IntelBroker indicate that the exposed data includes:
- financial transactions,
