Iberia’s Data Breach Turbulence: 77GB of Customer Info Exposed in Supplier Snafu
Iberia has issued a warning to customers after a third-party supplier experienced a data breach, with a hacker claiming to have snagged 77GB of airline data. Iberia assures that financial data remains safe, but urges vigilance. Remember, if you get an email offering free flights, it’s likely a scam—unless it’s from your mother-in-law.
Hot Take:
Oh, Iberia! When it comes to flying high, let’s leave the breaches to the clouds, shall we? It’s a little alarming when your supplier’s security is as airtight as a colander. A data breach that exposes customer names and loyalty IDs is almost as bad as running out of peanuts on a long-haul flight! But hey, at least they didn’t get to your financial data. So, kudos for keeping your wallet safe, even if your email might soon be the recipient of a hundred new newsletters.
Key Points:
– Iberia, Spain’s flag carrier, warned customers of a data breach due to a third-party supplier hack.
– 77 GB of data, including customer names, emails, and loyalty IDs, were compromised.
– Financial data and passwords remain secure and uncompromised.
– Iberia has initiated security protocols and is working with regulators to investigate.
– The threat actor claims to be selling the stolen data for $150,000.
