UK regulator probing Air India response to data breach
The UK’s data protection watchdog says it is investigating the data breach which impacted about 4.5 million Air India customers globally.
The airline reported it to the Information Commissioner’s Office and requested it be probed by the ICO. India doesn’t have a specific data protection law.
Aviation tech provider SITA was hacked and it wasn’t discovered for nearly a decade. The cybersecurity attack was finally discovered in February and the airline says SITA disclosed which customers were impacted in April.
