Reddit just this in the past year:

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/18zewqa/keep_g...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/15oq4pn/bookingcom_v...

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1bblo8a/verification...

There's also posts on twitter and here on hackernews.

But at its core numbers don't matter, the fact that they ignore twofactor and let everyone login by clicking on the request e-mail is a complete failure of security.

Non tech savvy people will absolutely get compromised by this at some point given enough requests, and they don't post to Reddit about it.



I see the top comment in your top link makes the same recommendation I made in another comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40720789).

If it works, you should definitely solve the problem for yourself even before booking.com eventually suffers enough to address the problem more generally.
