9.4 million clients affected in massive Cathy Pacific hack

Cathay Pacific Airways, Asia’s biggest international carrier, said a hacker gained access to information on about 9.4 million passengers, the third major global airline to report a data breach this year. The stock fell to the lowest level in more than nine years.

The Hong Kong-based carrier discovered suspicious activity on its network in March and confirmed the unauthorised access to some personal data in May, it said late on Wednesday. There’s no evidence any information has been misused and flight safety hasn’t been compromised, it said.
