From PC Mag: A major data breach has put the personal information of 9.4 million Cathay Pacific customers at risk.
On Wednesday, the Hong Kong-based airline revealed that someone without authorization broke into its information system and accessed passengers' names, nationalities, birthdates, phone numbers, email and physical addresses, passport numbers, identity card numbers, frequent flyer numbers, customer service remarks, and historical travel information.
Among the cache of potentially stolen data was also some financial information, including more than 400 expired credit card numbers and 27 credit card numbers without associated CVV codes.
Cathay Pacific said it has no evidence at this time that any of that data has been misused. The company added that its breached IT systems are "totally separate" from its flight operations systems, so "there is no impact on flight safety."
