Morning Star Tours, a prominent Oregon-based travel and tour operator, recently disclosed a significant data security incident. The breach, which took place on April 22, 2026, was reported to authorities on May 31, 2026, confirming that sensitive customer information was compromised within their systems.

The exposed data includes a comprehensive list of personal details: Full Name, Date of Birth, Home Mailing Address, Email Address, Phone Number, Payment Card Information, Passport Number, Frequent Flyer Account Details, and Emergency Contact Information.

The Oregon Consumer Identity Theft Protection Act and federal regulations require companies to implement reasonable safeguards.
