Miles stolen, personal info exposed in CX data breach

Hong Kong's flagship carrier has apologised over a data breach that led to frequent flyer miles being stolen and personal information of about 1,000 members exposed.

Cathay Pacific on Thursday said it was alerted to "fraudulent activities" on some membership accounts that "led to unauthorised access to personal data and theft of Asia Miles".

Data accessed by unauthorised parties included personal particulars and travel details, according to the carrier, but no credit card information was exposed.
