I wonder if Booking is mostly third-party contractors or if they have employees. If the latter, then this is likely known inside, but executives don't care. If the former, it's possible executives don't know or also don't care. In my career, I've seen both scenarios. Given Priceline's size (Bookings' parent), it could be both. Executives want frictionless processes for customers; security is rarely important. The competitor to Priceline/Booking I worked at about a decade ago emailed forgotten passwords to customers, despite getting training at work where the first rule was don't remember passwords, and we couldn't get leadership to get rid of that because it was "convenient."
