British Airways confirms a data breach that exposed 380,000 payment cards. Customers booking flights on its website (ba.com) and British Airways mobile app between late 21 August and 5 September were compromised. The company assured its customers that the stolen data did not include travel or passport details. The National Crime Agency is aware of the breach and is “working with partners to assess the best course of action” Air Canada also suffered a severe data breach late last month, which, along with personal data, also exposed passport number and other passport and travel details of about 20,000 mobile app customers.
