A cyberattack targeting three UK airports leads to customer data being accessed and published, according to multiple reports. The affected airports are Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands. The company that operates the airports says about 8.7 million customers’ information is involved.

BBC Technology and BBC News report that criminals publish data tied to the hack and that the operator was compromised last month. Financial Times and several local and UK outlets say the incident exposes personal contact details and identifiers used for airport-related services. Mint and others specify that the breach relates to information connected to bookings such as car parks, lounges and Fast Track, as well as registration details for in-airport Wi‑Fi. Reported data includes email addresses, phone numbers and vehicle registration details, along with postcodes; one outlet also emphasizes airport Wi‑Fi sign-up information as a major component.

While outlets differ in emphasis—some focus on the scale and public release of data, others on which specific fields were accessed—there is agreement that passenger safety is not affected. The accounts also frame the incident as part of a wider pattern of large-scale hacks against UK firms.
