Singapore Airlines says 46,000 booking records affected by Amadeus breach

Singapore Airlines has reported that approximately 46,000 booking records may have been compromised in a cybersecurity incident involving its reservation technology provider, Amadeus. The airline joins other major carriers, including Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines, and South Korea's Asiana Airlines, which have also disclosed data breaches affecting customer information.

Singapore Airlines' affected data includes customers' names, booking reference numbers, travel itineraries, and booking classes. However, the company reassures that bank account or credit card information was not leaked, and bookings were not modified. Amadeus confirmed the vulnerability affecting a travel booking display environment but did not disclose the exact number of customers impacted.

The airline is proactively reaching out to affected customers with upcoming travel plans to change their booking reference numbers as a precautionary measure.
