According to Cyber news, images of airline boarding passes, personal information, booking reference numbers and intimate customer member data of many airlines have been posted publicly by the group of hackers.
Experts say that if this information is exploited, cybercriminals can use it to impersonate identities, take account access, or commit fraud via email and text messages.
Dublin airport representative said that their internal system has not been directly hacked, but is still coordinating with the Irish Data Protection and Cyber Security Agency to investigate. At the same time, the airport recommends that passengers change their passwords, be careful with suspicious emails or messages related to flights.
According to Cyber news, the incident could affect the data of millions of global customers.
Experts say the attack is a warning bell about the level of dependence on third-party suppliers in the aviation sector. A security vulnerability at the contractor could also open the way for hackers to break into the airport system, disrupt operations and threaten data security.
