British Airways said on Sept. 6 that data had been stolen from potentially hundreds of thousands of its customers who made bookings on the airline’s website and app between Aug. 21 and Sept. 5.
Around 380,000 card payments had been “compromised”, the airline said. Hackers obtained sufficient information to steal from accounts.
IAG, owner of British Airways, said on Sept. 6 the data breach had been resolved. It added that the website was working normally and no travel or passport details were stolen.
The airline said it had launched an investigation and notified police and other relevant authorities.
Shares in IAG fell 2.6 percent to 663.8 pence by 0910 GMT on Sept. 7.
