While no payment details or user passwords have been compromised, Butlin's buoyantly announced that the booking reference numbers, lead guest names, holiday arrival dates, postal and email addresses and telephone numbers of 34,000 customers may have been accessed.

The incident was the result of a phishing attack via an unauthorised email, the company admitted, meaning this hack was entirely chaletmaid.

The company has also reported the incident to the Information Commissioner's Office and says it will be "putting more measures in place to reduce the risk of something like this happening again."
