The low-cost airline said that email addresses and itineraries were hacked, and that the credit card details of 2,200 travelers were revealed.
EasyJet, the low-cost airline based in England, said on Tuesday that it was the target of a “highly sophisticated” cyberattack that exposed the email addresses and personal travel plans of about nine million customers, and that some had their credit card details stolen.
The airline said in a statement that as soon as it became aware of the attack, it took immediate steps to manage and investigate it, and closed off the breach. The company said the investigation showed that the credit card details of 2,208 customers were breached.
Customers whose personal information is at risk would be contacted by May 26, the airline said.
Passport information was not affected, it said.
