Malaysia Airlines' systems untouched by data breach
Your browser does not support the audio element.
Malaysia Airlines has confirmed that its own IT systems have not been compromised by a cybersecurity incident involving third-party provider Amadeus IT Group. The incident, which may have affected customer information processed by Amadeus between August 2023 and September 2026, has not resulted in any evidence of financial information being accessed.
Malaysia Airlines has not disclosed the number of customers affected or the types of personal information potentially accessed. This follows reports from other international airlines experiencing unauthorized access to passenger reservation data held by Amadeus, including Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Korean Air, and Asiana Airlines.
Despite taking steps such as a password reset and enhanced monitoring, Amadeus has not identified any misuse of the affected data.
