News & Reviews:   Malindo Air data leak

Back in March 2019, Malindo Air suffered a data breach which compromised the passenger records of over 45 million of its customers. While the airline (which has since been rebranded to Batik Air following the pandemic) announced that it has successfully contained the leak in September 2019, the consequence of the cybersecurity issue was not known until today, whereby the leaked data has been spotted in an online forum known for selling personal data.
