Air Canada Hacked, User Info Stolen - mothered - 08-31-2018
Greetings to all,
As per the thread's title, Air Canada has been compromised and If you're a user, It's strongly advised to change your password. It just goes to show that even companies on the scale of this major airline, are susceptible to exploitation.
Quote:According to an email to customers, attackers may have accessed basic profile data, including names, email addresses and phone numbers — but also more sensitive data that users may have added to their profiles, including passport numbers and expiry date, passport country of issuance, NEXUS numbers for trusted travelers, gender, dates of birth, nationality and country of residence.
But credit card data was not accessed, the airline said.
Oh good: my credit card is totally safe, but all the stuff that can be used to pretend to be me and get more of my money is at risk.

Glad to see Canada in some Tech news. I thought the country is still living in Freezers .
