Subsidiaries of Indonesian low-cost airline Lion Air, including Malindo Air and Thai Lion Air, have suffered a massive data breach, resulting in the information of millions of passengers being leaked onto data exchange forums. The breached data includes:
- full names
- home addresses
- email addresses
- dates of birth
- phone numbers
- passport numbers and expiration dates
The files of passengers who flew with Thai Lion Air and Malindo Air, were stored in an open Amazon Web Services bucket, where a hacker gained access and dumped the files online.
