Cathay Pacific Airways said it would guarantee thousands of first and business-class flights sold at huge discounts after a ticketing error, calling the mistake a surprise special on New Years Day
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. said a hacker accessed personal information of 9.4 million customers, becoming the target of the world's biggest airline data breach
The airline said it had discovered suspicious activity on its network in March and confirmed unauthorised access to certain personal data in early May
Cathay said 860,000 passport numbers, about 245,000 Hong Kong identity card numbers, 403 expired credit card numbers and 27 credit card numbers with no card verification value (CVV) were accessed
Cathay Pacific and other premium airlines are facing intense competition from low-cost carriers
