Delta Air Lines said Thursday that it has launched a website for customers who may have been affected by a cyber breach that could have left their credit card information vulnerable to hackers.
Airline officials said that payment information from several hundred thousand customers could have been compromised. The airline said it is notifying customers who may have been impacted and will offer them free credit monitoring.
The breach took place last fall, but airline officials only learned about it on March 28. The incident affected [24]7.ai, a company that provides online chat services for the airline, and left payment information of some customers – including names, addresses, credit card and CVV numbers – potentially exposed. The breach did not affect travel booked via the airline’s FlyDelta mobile app, but if you bought a ticket through the airline’s website using a desktop or laptop and manually entered your credit card to make the purchase between Sept. 26 and Oct. 12, 2017, you may be at risk.
Information such as passport, government ID, security or SkyMiles numbers were not impacted, they said.
