The cyberattack on SITA, a nearly ubiquitous airline service provider, has compromised frequent-flyer data across many carriers.
A communications and IT vendor for 90 percent of the world’s airlines, SITA, has been breached, compromising passenger data stored on the company’s U.S. servers in what the company is calling a “highly sophisticated attack.”
The affected servers are in Atlanta, and belong to the SITA Passenger Service System (SITA PSS), company spokeswoman Edna Ayme-Yahil told Threatpost. SITA PSS operates the systems for processing airline passenger data and belongs to a group of SITA companies, headquartered in the E.U.
Malaysia Air and Singapore Airlines have already made headlines in recent days after alerting their customers they’ve been compromised as part of the attack.
