Get Away Today Listed by Akira Ransomware Group

On January 29, 2024, Get Away Today, an online travel booking service, appeared on the leak site operated by the Akira ransomware group. The listing states that the attackers exfiltrated internal files containing personal information of their clients, describing the data as “thousand of lines” from “a few databases.” The company has not yet published its own breach notification, so the exact number of affected individuals and the full scope of data types remain unknown.

Reported Details from the Listing

The Akira leak site entry explicitly states that Get Away Today suffered a ransomware attack in which internal databases were accessed and exfiltrated. It notes that the stolen material includes client personal information but does not specify whether names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, payment details, or passport information were taken. The posting says the data “will be made available soon,” a common tactic used to pressure victims into paying before public release. No ransom amount is listed, and the precise date of initial compromise is not disclosed.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you have ever booked a vacation, theme-park tickets, or travel packages through Get Away Today, your personal details may now sit in a criminal data repository. Travel bookings frequently contain home addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, and sometimes dates of birth or names of family members traveling together. When such information escapes controlled environments, it becomes raw material for identity theft, phishing campaigns, and follow-on fraud targeting you or your spouse and children. The fact that the victim count is listed as unknown means every past customer must treat their data as exposed until the company clarifies otherwise.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Travel-related records are especially dangerous in doxxing chains because they link real-world identities to email addresses, phone numbers, and payment methods that appear in dozens of other breaches. A single leaked booking can give attackers the missing piece needed to connect your gaming username, social-media handle, and family address. Once those links are mapped, criminals can hijack accounts, impersonate you to friends and relatives, or target your children through their linked online profiles. Credential leaks like this one routinely cascade into account takeovers across unrelated services that reuse the same password or security questions derived from travel data.

Akira Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Akira group’s emergence to early 2023. Since then the gang has hit organizations across North America, Europe, and Australia, focusing on mid-sized businesses in sectors ranging from manufacturing to professional services. Their typical playbook involves initial access through compromised remote desktop credentials or exploited vulnerabilities, followed by deployment of custom ransomware that encrypts systems and exfiltrates data before triggering the encryption routine. Akira operators then list victims on their leak site and demand payment to prevent publication, often giving short deadlines measured in days or weeks. The group has shown willingness to release samples of stolen data when victims do not respond, a pattern consistent with the current Get Away Today listing.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your email addresses, phone numbers, travel booking accounts, and real-world identity.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure surfaces in hours instead of months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same contact details.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal records appearing on data-broker or extortion sites.

The incident underscores that even routine travel purchases can feed long-term identity risks when companies fall victim to determined ransomware operators. Starting a DoxxScan trial gives your family ongoing visibility and hands-on help that keeps pace with these evolving threats. Its continuous monitoring, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, and specialist remediation cover both adult and children’s accounts in one household plan.
