P&O Ferries says it has identified a data breach after it sent a text message that included passengers’ personal details to the wrong recipients, according to reporting by the Daily Mail and Mail Online. The incident is described as occurring on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
Both outlets report that the message included a full list of passenger information rather than a limited set of data. The coverage characterizes the breach as originating from the company’s communications process, where recipients received details that were not intended for them.
The two sources describe the same core facts: a text message is said to have been sent with passengers’ information, resulting in an exposure of personal data. They do not provide contrasting accounts of the circumstances or the scope of affected individuals, but both frame the event as a communications error that creates potential privacy and security concerns for travelers.
