🚨🇬🇧 Cyberattack exposes data belonging to 8.7 million customers across three UK airports
Manchester Airports Group says an unauthorized third party obtained customer data connected to Manchester Airport, London Stansted, and East Midlands Airport.
The stolen information relates to airport WiFi sign-ups and car park, lounge, and Fast Track bookings.
Exposed data includes:
• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Vehicle registration numbers
• Postcodes
MAG says neither it nor the affected system stores customers' banking or payment information.
Airport operations were not disrupted, and passenger safety and aviation security were not affected.
The company says it contained the incident, restricted access to affected systems, brought in cybersecurity specialists, and notified relevant authorities.
Affected customers are being warned to watch for phishing emails, texts, and calls using the stolen information.
