Leisure travel company Carnival Corporation last week confirmed that personal information pertaining to guests, employees, and crew was compromised in an August 2020 ransomware attack.
Last week, Carnival filed a 10-Q form with the SEC, confirming that certain personal data was compromised.
"On August 15, 2020, we detected a ransomware attack and unauthorized access to our information technology systems," the filing reads.
"While the investigation is ongoing, early indications are that the unauthorized third-party gained access to certain personal information relating to some guests, employees and crew for some of our operations."
In the filing, Carnival also notes that it is not aware of the compromised data being misused.
