MAG, the company managing airports in Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands, has reported that a cyber attack resulted in the theft of 8.7 million customer data records. The compromised information reportedly includes sensitive details such as email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registration numbers, and postcodes. The cyber attack occurred over the weekend, and MAG stated that the company was informed of the breach on Tuesday.
In a statement addressing the security incident, MAG confirmed that the attack “did not cause any operational disruption” and had “no impact on airport operations.” Furthermore, the company assured the public that “there was no threat to the safety of passengers or aviation safety at any time.”
The reported data theft highlights a significant security concern for the aviation sector. While the company has managed to contain the operational impact, the breach of personal customer data remains a serious issue. MAG continues to manage its multiple airport sites while dealing with the fallout from the cyber incident.
