The article reports on a cybersecurity breach at the Croatian reservation system Phobs, which is used by numerous tourist providers in the wider region, including Slovenia. The breach potentially exposed users' personal data, including contact information and reservation details, which cybercriminals are now using to launch phishing attacks via fake WhatsApp messages. These scams aim to trick users into visiting fraudulent websites where they might enter their bank card details. While financial data has not yet been accessed, the risk remains high. The Slovenian Cyber Security Centre (SI-CERT) notes a significant rise in such incidents, with over 6,196 cyber incidents reported in 2025, including 1,995 phishing cases. The total financial loss from online fraud in Slovenia reached €40.4 million in 2025, marking a 33% increase from the previous year.
