Cathay Pacific says a breach of technology provider Amadeus affected data tied to 53,000 bookings. The airline says hackers gained unauthorised access to information connected to those bookings, involving personal data and flight details.
Outlets describe how the incident relates to the broader use of Amadeus systems by many airlines. Channel NewsAsia focuses on the number of affected bookings, while the South China Morning Post adds context that Cathay is one of hundreds of airlines that rely on Amadeus IT Group for technology services. The Post also reports the time window of the unauthorised access, describing it as occurring between August 2023 and September 2026.
Across coverage, Cathay’s response is framed around customer notification and concern over potential impact, with both outlets centring on the scale of the compromised bookings.
