A whirl of criticism has hit Cloud Wings Airlines after employee data was leaked. Hackers exploited a vulnerability on an employee’s device and took advantage of gaps in security to infiltrate the system. As a result, they have managed to export confidential information and contact details. "We rushed the implementation of automation features, seriously underestimating the importance of thoroughly testing the security of the service," admits the head of the IT department.

The incident was discovered when an employee of Cloud Wings Airlines noticed some unusual activity on their device and reported the issue. The IT guys quickly reconstructed the chain of events and blocked the intruders, but by that time, a significant amount of data had already been lost.

The company’s losses are estimated to be thousands of dollars. As the investigation continues, the company management promises to ramp up security measures and conduct a thorough audit of all services to prevent such incidents in the future.

1. Confidential data leak

Cloud Wings Airlines has confirmed a data breach following a major cyberattack. Unidentified hackers managed to infiltrate the database by exploiting a web server vulnerability and gained access to confidential passenger information. "We are already assessing the scope of the breach. It affected over 200,000 records, including payment card data," reported the head of the information security department.

The first signs of the attack were spotted by the company's technical specialist, who noticed unusual activity in the web server logs. According to the specialist, the requests were coming from suspicious IP addresses and didn't look like the usual customer actions.

The investigators swiftly uncovered evidence that the hackers were using the web server as a transit point, which allowed them to access accounts used to communicate with the database. The intruders then stealthily started to copy confidential data, trying to avoid the attention of the security service. Experts believe that the data will soon appear on the black market, and the cybercriminals will be able to make a tidy profit. Meanwhile, the company is facing significant losses.
