Malaysia Airlines says some customers’ information may have been compromised in a cybersecurity incident involving Amadeus, the global travel technology provider that supplies airline reservation and passenger systems. In a statement, the airline links the potential exposure to the breach at its system supplier rather than to an incident at the airline itself, and it alerts customers to possible impacts.
Different outlets add details about the scope of what may have been affected. One report says affected data relates to information processed through the reservation system over a multi-year period, while another provides a specific time window. Coverage focuses on the customer-data risk stemming from the Amadeus incident, with outlets reflecting the airline’s statements about potential exposure and timing.
