Jin Air cyber-attack exposes personal data of 1,454 members
1.5kImpact: Eight categories of personal data belonging to 1,454 members
An external attack targeting Jin Air’s member information lookup API exposed eight categories of personal data, including names and telephone numbers, belonging to 1,454 members. Passwords and payment information were not compromised. Jin Air announced the breach on 29 October, blocked the attacking IP addresses and access to the systems involved, and said it would notify affected customers individually. Questions subsequently arose about internal system problems and whether responsibility for the incident contributed to the chief executive’s resignation, while further system reviews continued.
