Airbnb has contained a data security incident that occurred within its service and resulted in the data of a limited number of Airbnb hosts being exposed to other hosts inside the service when using its desktop and mobile web platforms.
Reports began to emerge late on the evening of 24 September that some users were able to access the inbox messages of their peers, as well as other personally identifiable information (PII) including the addresses of hosts and details of Airbnb properties.
