In full transparency, we are informing you of a security incident that occurred with our booking software partner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. What Happened?<\/h2>\n<p>A cybersecurity incident occurred on <strong>October 8 and 9, 2026<\/strong> at <strong>Avantio<\/strong>, the specialized software platform we use to manage our guest bookings and stays. A system vulnerability was exploited by an unauthorized third party and was <strong>definitively patched by Avantio on October 9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our own internal agency servers and systems were not compromised.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>2. What Data May Have Been Accessed?<\/h2>\n<p>Because Avantio cannot determine with complete certainty which individual booking records were accessed, we are applying a strict precautionary approach: <strong>we consider that the information related to your file may have been viewed<\/strong> if you have stayed, booked, or requested a quote with IBA\u00cfA Real Estate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Data potentially affected:<\/strong> First name, last name, phone number, email address, language, age range, and details of your stay (dates and accommodation).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data NOT affected:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #27ae60;font-weight: bold\">No credit card numbers, no financial data, and no passwords were exposed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. What Are the Potential Risks and Scam Attempts?<\/h2>\n<p>These contact and booking details could potentially be used by scammers to send <strong>highly convincing fraudulent messages<\/strong> (phishing via email, SMS, or WhatsApp). Please remain extremely vigilant regarding the following scenarios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fake refund or deposit return:<\/strong> A message claiming to refund you money and asking for your bank details or credit card number;<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Loyalty&#8221; reward or special discount:<\/strong> A message prompting you to click an external link to claim a voucher or prize;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fake payment or settlement request:<\/strong> A message claiming unpaid fees regarding a past or upcoming reservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4.
