A security lapse at a hotel management startup has exposed hotel bookings and guests’ personal information.
The security lapse was resolved Monday after TechCrunch reached out to Aavgo, a hospitality tech company based in San Francisco, which secured a server it had left online without a password.

The server was open for three weeks — long enough for security researcher Daniel Brown to find the database.
He shared his findings exclusively with TechCrunch, then published them.

Several large hotel chains, including Holiday Inn Express and Zenique Hotels, use Aavgo’s technology in their properties.
One of those customers included Guestline, a property management company for hoteliers, which used Aavgo in two hotels. Guestline facilities 6.3 million bookings a year.
