GlobalX Hit by Hacktivists: Hacker Drama Unfolds Over Controversial Deportations
Global Crossing Airlines, aka GlobalX, recently detected a breach after hackers, claiming to be Anonymous, targeted their systems. While no operations were disrupted, the hacktivists leaked flight records and passenger lists, protesting the airline’s role in controversial deportations. GlobalX assures that their financial stability remains intact.
Hot Take:
It seems Global Crossing Airlines’ systems were flying a little too close to the sun, and by ‘sun,’ I mean hackers claiming to be from Anonymous. While the airline was busy with deportations, its systems got deported into the hands of cyber vigilantes. This breach is a friendly reminder to upgrade your security systems, unless you’re into that whole ‘data leak chic’ look.
Key Points:
- Global Crossing Airlines (GlobalX) confirmed a data breach after hackers leaked stolen data.
- Hackers, claiming to be from the Anonymous movement, defaced a GlobalX subdomain.
- Alleged stolen data includes flight records and passenger lists.
- GlobalX detected unauthorized network activity on May 5, immediately launching incident response protocols.
- The airline claims the cyberattack did not disrupt operations or significantly impact the company financially.
