Security News > 2021 > March > SITA data breach affects millions of travelers from major airlines
Passenger data from multiple airlines around the world has been compromised after hackers breached servers belonging to SITA, a global information technology company.
A SITA representative told BleepingComputer that the intrusion impacts data of passengers from the airlines listed below.
Singapore Airlines - flag carrier airline of Singapore.
Malaysia Airlines - flag carrier airline of Malaysia.
Singapore Airlines disclosed the breach on Thursday, explaining how data of approximately 580,000 members of its KrisFlyer frequent flyer program has been compromised.
Because the hackers breached the reservation system of the undisclosed Asian Airline that is also a Star Alliance member, customer data from Miles & More is also impacted by the incident - about 1.35 million participants in the program, many having the "Frequent flyer" status, Lufthansa said.
