NCC Group Exposes Kitana AI Fraud Targeting Hotel Bookings

  2. 2Implement robust Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and educate guests that legitimate sites will never ask for MFA codes during a standard booking process.
  3. 3Monitor for unusual referral traffic sources and real-time session anomalies that could indicate an Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) proxy attack.
