Korean Air’s Cybersecurity Turbulence: 30,000 Employee Records Exposed in Data Breach
Korean Air has revealed a data breach impacting 30,000 employees after a cyberattack on its former subsidiary, Korean Air Catering & Duty-Free. While hackers served up a buffet of employee data, fortunately, customer information was not on the menu.
Hot Take:
Korean Air is facing turbulence, but not in the skies. With a data breach exposing 30,000 employee records, it seems the airline industry needs more than just a seatbelt sign to keep their data secure. Perhaps they should consider adding “cybersecurity turbulence” to their in-flight safety briefing.
Key Points:
- Korean Air discloses a data breach exposing 30,000 employee records.
- The breach originated from KC&D, a former subsidiary and current supplier.
- Hackers stole names and bank account numbers, but customer data was not affected.
- The attack is linked to the Oracle E-Business Suite campaign exploited by cybercriminals.
