Amadeus cyberattack compromises Cathay Pacific booking data

Cathay Pacific has revealed that data from 53,000 bookings were compromised following a cyberattack on its technology service provider, Amadeus IT Group. The unauthorized access occurred over a three year period, spanning from August 2023 to September 2026.

According to the airline, the accessed information primarily included passenger names, booking references, and flight details. In a smaller subset of cases, additional personal data such as email addresses, phone numbers, travel documents, and frequent flyer numbers may have been accessed.

Cathay Pacific is among hundreds of airlines worldwide that utilize Amadeus technology solutions. The breach follows similar disclosures by other major carriers, including Korean Air and Japan Airlines.
