Cyberattack Exposes Data Of 8.7 Million Airport Customers Arabian Post

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) clearfix"> Manchester Airports Group has disclosed a cyberattack that exposed personal information belonging to about 8.7 million customers across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports, though flight operations and aviation security were not affected.

The breach involved customer information associated with car park, airport lounge and Fast Track bookings, as well as registrations for Wi-Fi services inside the three airports. Data accessed by an unauthorised third party included email addresses, telephone numbers, vehicle registration numbers and postcodes.

Bank account and payment card information was not compromised because neither Manchester Airports Group nor the affected system stored those details. The company has said that, for the vast majority of affected customers, the information obtained was limited to an email address.
