Easyjet's 9 Million Customers Hacked

EasyJet, the UK’s largest airline, said hackers have accessed the travel details of 9 million customers.

The airline said 2,200 customers also had their credit card details accessed in the data breach, but passport records were not accessed, a company statement said.

EasyJet did not say when the security incident happened or how the hackers accessed its systems, but the company said it referred the incident to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Those of you who have used Easyjet would be wise to change your passwords, and be extremely wary of phishing and scam emails.
