LNER Data Breach: Hackers Chug Along with Customer Details, But Bank Info Stays on Track
LNER has revealed a data breach affecting customer information after hackers accessed files from a third-party supplier. While contact details and past journey information were exposed, banking and password data remain secure. LNER advises customers to be wary of unsolicited messages. No impact on ticket sales or train operations has occurred.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, looks like LNER’s data took an unscheduled detour! Just when you thought your biggest worry on a train ride would be the lack of seat cushions, now it’s your contact details taking a train trip of their own. But hey, at least your banking details are safe, so your money won’t be purchasing a one-way ticket to Nowheresville anytime soon!
Key Points:
- LNER has experienced a data breach affecting customer contact details.
- The breach involved an unnamed third-party supplier, not LNER directly.
- No banking, payment card, or password information was compromised.
- The breach hasn’t affected ticket sales or train operations.
- Customers are advised to be cautious of unsolicited communications.
