WestJet, Canada's second-largest airline, reported a data breach affecting 1.2 million passengers. The breach, disclosed in a filing with Maine's attorney general, included the personal information of 240 residents of Maine.
The stolen data potentially involves passenger names, birth dates, addresses, travel documents, and reward account details. WestJet detected the security incident in June and found unauthorized access to its network.
The breach has been linked to the hacking group Scattered Spider, known for targeting corporate networks. Earlier this year, the FBI warned that this group was targeting the transportation and aviation industry.
