EasyJet says hackers stole info from 9 million of its customers
British budget airline EasyJet said that hackers have accessed travel details and email addresses of 9 million of its customers, BBC News reported Tuesday.
The company told the news outlet the hackers have with a “highly sophisticated cyber-attack.” Additionally, they managed to “access” credit card details of 2,208 customers. EasyJet first became aware of the attack in January.
“There is no evidence that any personal information of any nature has been misused, however, on the recommendation of the ICO, we are communicating with the approximately 9 million customers whose travel details were accessed to advise them of protective steps to minimise any risk of potential phishing,” the company said in a statement to BBC News.
The company is investigating the breach, but shared no other details on its corporate page or official Twitter accounts at the time of writing. Mashable has contacted EasyJet for more information and will update this article when we hear back.
