Malaysia Airlines has confirmed it has suffered a "data security incident" via a third-party IT service provider. The company also said the breach had not affected its carrier's core IT infrastructure and systems.
The airline said the incident had occurred at some point during a nine-year period between March 2010 and June 2019, according to Channel Asia. A statement by the company, sent to its Enrich frequent flyer members, said the incident did not affect itineraries, reservations, ticketing, ID card or payment card information. The breached data, however, does contain Enrich member names, date of birth, gender and contact details, in addition to frequent flyer number, status and tier level information.
