UPDATED The UK's Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) is battling a suspected cyberattack with members reporting widespread IT outages for the past five days.
The company, which describes itself as "Europe's biggest touring community, helping caravanners, motorhomers and campers access over 3,000 stunning locations in the UK and Europe", has alerted the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to its situation, suggesting it has suffered a meaningful data security incident.
UK organizations must notify the ICO within 72 hours if they suffer a breach that's likely to risk people's rights and freedoms. The data watchdog confirmed to us today that it's investigating based on the information provided to it.
CAMC's issues reportedly began on January 20 when its website and mobile app originally went down "for maintenance" but have since refreshed to communicate that external teams are involved in bringing its systems back to working order.

https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/whats-on/caravan-club-news/latest-information-regarding-the-cyber-security-incident/Als ik goed ben geinformeerd dan hebben NL NCC leden via de UK caravanclub tegen vaak sterk gereduceerde tarieven toegang tot hun vaak mooi kampeerterreinen. Ik kan mij daarom voorstellen dat er ook aardig wat Nederlanders, waaronder NL vouwwagenbezitters, gedupeerd zijn.
Mijn advies is om -al is het uit voorzorg-:
1. het wachtwoord bij de UK caravanclub zsm te wijzigen.
2. na te gaan of je op andere websites (maakt niet wat voor soort website) dezelfde combinatie van gebruikersnaam en wachtwoord hebt gebruikt en die wachtwoorden eveneens zsm te wijzigen.
