The British financial airline admitted that the hacker gained access to the credit card details of 2.000 customers.
ΕThrough a pandemic, most airlines have a fleet of aircraft that are permanently grounded, but their systems remain online. An economical airline has admitted to being hacked with the information of about nine million customers being stolen.
According to her report Reuters, the British airline EasyJet, which has been operating for the past 25 years, has suffered what it calls a "highly sophisticated" attack on its systems that has affected millions of its customers. The full details have not yet been revealed, such as when the breach took place, but we do know that hackers have gained access to the emails and travel details of millions of consumers.
EasyJet is currently working with "top criminologists" to determine the full extent of the hack and to understand how this was made possible. The company stated: “We take security issues very seriously and continue to invest to further improve our security environment".
The CEO of EasyJet, Johan Lungdren, also stated: “From the moment we became aware of the incident, it became clear that due to COVID-19 there is a growing concern about personal data and its use in cyber fraud… As a result and in accordance with the recommendation of the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office), we contact Customers whose travel information has been breached and we recommend that they be especially careful if they receive strange messages or calls".
As Lungdren confirmed, once a hack is made public, the company is quick to contact customers whose data has been compromised. At the top of the contact list will be the 2.000 customers who stole their credit card information.
