EasyJet has admitted that a "highly sophisticated cyber-attack" has affected approximately nine million customers.

It said email addresses and travel details had been stolen and that 2,208 customers had also had their credit card details "accessed".

The firm has informed the UK's Information Commissioner's Office while it investigates the breach.

The BBC understands that EasyJet first became aware of the attack in January.

It told the BBC that it was only able to notify customers whose credit card details were stolen in early April.

It added that it had gone public now in order to warn the nine million customers whose email addresses had been stolen to be wary of phishing attacks.

It said that it would notify everyone affected by 26 May.

"We take issues of security extremely seriously and continue to invest to further enhance our security environment," it said in a statement.

"There is no evidence that any personal information of any nature has been misused, however, on the recommendation of the ICO, we are communicating with the approximately nine million customers whose travel details were accessed to advise them of protective steps to minimise any risk of potential phishing.

"We are advising customers to be cautious of any communications purporting to come from EasyJet or EasyJet Holidays."

In response to the breach, the ICO said that it was investigating.

"People have a right to expect that organisations will handle their personal information securely and responsibly. When that doesn't happen, we will investigate and take robust action where necessary."

It also warned people to be on the lookout for phishing attacks and directed them to its advice on its website on how to spot such scams.

Phishing
Phishing attempts - which see criminals sending emails with links to fake web pages that steal personal data - have risen exponentially during the coronavirus crisis.

Google is blocking more than 100 million phishing emails every day to Gmail users.

It is likely that hackers will take advantage of the fact people are cancelling flights because of the uncertainty related to the spread of Covid-19, said Ray Walsh, a digital privacy expert at ProPrivacy.

"Anybody who has ever purchased an EasyJet flight is advised to be extremely wary when opening emails from now on," he said.

"Phishing emails that leverage data stolen during the attack could be used as an attack vector at any point in the future.

"As a result, it is important for customers to be vigilant whenever they receive unsolicited emails or emails that appear to be from EasyJet, as these could be fake emails which link to cloned websites designed to steal your data."

'Turbulent times'
The coronavirus pandemic has meant an end to much global travel, leaving airlines struggling financially.

"These are already turbulent times for all companies within the aviation industry but the situation has just got significantly worse for EasyJet," said Mike Fenton, chief executive of threat detection firm Redscan.

"To add to the company's woes, it is now has to explain how the personal records of nine million customers were able to be accessed.

"When it comes to cyber security, the airline industry doesn't have a great record. The British Airways breach in 2018 should have been a wake-up call and passenger confidence is likely to be at an all-time low after this."

British Airways announced that the personal details of more than half a million of its customers had been harvested by hackers in September 2018.

Initially it said that only 380,000 transactions were affected and that the data did not include travel or passport details.

The ICO later issued a record £183m fine over the breach. Compensation pay-outs to customers could see that reach £3bn.

Under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), if EasyJet is found to have mishandled customer data, it could face fines of up to 4% of its annual worldwide turnover.

"It is impossible to determine yet whether or not there has been negligence but, if so, consumers could be eligible to claim compensation, raising the financial penalty imposed on the airline significantly," said lawyer Aman Johal.

Millions of EasyJet customers' details of some sort or another have been accessed by hackers - but even more people now need to be vigilant.

Generally, personal details can be used by fraudsters to access bank accounts, open accounts and take out loans in the innocent victims' names, make fraudulent purchases, or sell on to other criminals.

The risks to those whose card details have been compromised are clear. Their provider should already have stopped the card, a new one will be issued, and they will need to sort out any regular payments coming from that card.

Following a similar data breach at British Airways in 2018, some found this a frustrating and time-consuming task.

Millions of people whose email addresses and travel details have been accessed will need to change passwords, and be wary of any unexpected transactions.

Everyone else, particularly EasyJet customers whose details have not been affected, must be alert to other unsolicited emails and messages.

Fraudsters will no doubt pose as EasyJet, banks, or the authorities and claim to be dealing with this latest breach. They are simply trying to steal personal details themselves.

Firstnebo:
Shift attention from what to what?

He is doing well in directing attention to where it should have been all along

Besides WHO'S disregard of Africa should not be overlooked

Look at how they are treating Madagascar and its handsome brave president because it looks he is coming up with a cure for the Wuhan Virus (African style).

Why calling Madagascar president handsome is Buhari not handsome

I have a question
WAS MOHAMMED WHO FLED PERSECUTION A COWARD?

US President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) threatening to pull US funding permanently over Covid-19.

The letter outlines a 30-day deadline for the body to commit to "substantive improvements" or risk losing millions and US membership altogether.

Addressed to WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, it criticises stages of the body's response since December.

Earlier in the day, Mr Trump called the UN's health body a "puppet of China".

The president, who faces re-election this year and has himself been criticised for his handling of the pandemic, has blamed China for trying to cover up the outbreak and has accused the WHO of failing to hold Beijing to account.

The US has more than 1.5 million of the world's 4.8 million confirmed cases of coronavirus so far, with more than 90,000 death


On Monday Dr Tedros backed a review of the agency's handling of the pandemic. He said an independent evaluation would take place "at the earliest appropriate moment".

WHAT DO THE LETTER SAY
Mr Trump published the letter on Twitter on Monday night, following a day of heavy US criticism of the health agency.

US Health Secretary Alex Azar earlier spoke at the UN's World Health Assembly and accused the WHO of letting Covid-19 spin "out of control" at the cost of "many lives".

In his letter to Dr Tedros, the US president accuses the WHO of having an "alarming lack of independence" from China.

Among his assertions, Mr Trump accuses the agency of having "consistently ignored" what he describes as "credible reports" of the virus spreading in Wuhan at the start of December or even earlier.

End of Twitter post by @realDonaldTrump
Also in the letter, Mr Trump:

Cites reports the WHO delayed an emergency declaration under pressure from President Xi Jinping
Criticises the agency's praise of China's "transparency" amid reports of censorship and lack of international cooperation
Accuses the WHO of failing to comment on virus-related racial discrimination allegedly happening within China
Says Dr Tedros could have saved "many lives" if he had acted more like Dr Harlem Brundtland, the WHO chief during the Sars outbreak
Mr Trump, in his conclusion, alleges that "repeated missteps" by Dr Tedros and the WHO had been "extremely costly for the world".

"The only way forward for the World Health Organization is if it can actually demonstrate independence from China," his letter says.

Trump's claims against WHO fact-checked
Mr Trump then calls for the organisation to commit to "major substantive improvements" within 30 days, without clarifying what this means.

Without these changes, the president says, the US will make his temporary freeze of US funding permanent and "reconsider our membership in the organisation" altogether.

Mr Trump announced the halting of US payments last month. The country is one of the biggest contributors to the WHO, accounting for just less than 15% of its funding in the past financial year.

The ultimatum letter comes in the midst of the UN's World Health Assembly - an annual meeting involving 194 member states reviewing the work of the UN's health agency.

So far the virtual forum has been dominated by health leaders clashing over the WHO's role, as well as pushes for an inquiry into how they handled the pandemic.

Nd furnish us with the statistical analysis u did of yoruba muslims?

The head of MURIC is a Yoruba Muslim now cant you see how fanatical MURIC are presently

MERCHANDISER:
Now I believe ooooo. I was doubting and criticizing his works

If he becomes the president, Nigeria will be great. No nepotism. He calls a spade a spade and he doesn't care if the offender is a PDP or an APC member — all he cares about is for the citizens to be law abiding.

A country where the citizens don't obey law or the leader is a nepotist, will never move forward.

Ask Buhari for your answer — if you have any question to ask.

poverty, ignorance, sentiments,physcological traumatization had made you lack reasoning like a normal human being i sympatise with your situation

Tissaia:
Lol. Over confidence, I don't like what Fulani herdsmen are doing, but they think they can take on the Fulani herdsmen with small juju and Cutlass., they need to take a deep breath and think again

Some of those guys are armed with guns some might even have ak 47 sef, haven't you heard of how fulani heardsmen went to igbede community an isoko tribe.didnt you hear how the armed heardsmen were massacred and killed despite their ak47s.

kkkp:
typical IPOB. Do you know how many people have been evacuated from various parts of the world

Nigeria despite all the billions of naira and dollars have tested about10 thousand in months but south Africa had tested over 100,000 people how about that.

Kingseex1:

Our gunsmith local too Sha,if them fit produce better 2 shot double barrel flintlock gun ehnn.i dey tell you can if these youths come out for them,the herdsmen go still run

I was just contemplating on this issue.i ant to buy a good dog,I've seen and heard about good dogs like Rottweilers,German sherpards mastiffs.but the issue is that these dogs are very expensive and costly to maintain.our local dog popularly known as ekuke,bingo,shit eater local dog etc.are very cheap,you can get one puppy less than 600 naira.but the issue is can this dog be trained to be a very good guard dog like their foreign counterparts.

I've heard so many news about covid-19 and also precautionary safety measures about this virus.

but I have a my reservations about this virus, covid-19 they say is a virus but why is malaria drugs used in treating covid-19 patients.covid-19 the world health organisation say is a virus.can malaria drugs used in treating a virus?malaria is a protozoan how can it drugs be used to treat a viral infection.

scientists on nairaland should explain better.

jericco1:
Why would a professional and a well trained military personnel shoot an unarmed person? It is a waste of tax payers money if you asked me.. I hope DHQ is aware of this and do the needful

Stop speaking jargons as if you resides in Las Vegas US of A

Prof. Didier Raoult says the Chinese have another bioweapon they're about to release kills 100s to 1000s per hour. Let's hope it's not true.

Stop spreading fake news where did you hear that from

Peterobi90:
Dear wike supporter, I want to advise you to use your head knowing we are dealing with a pandemic that spreads with as little as a touch, and any means neccessary to curb that is of greater good to not just you and myself, but the greater populace and enforcing that is of great importance no matter whose ox is gored. Moreso when lawbreakers brandish guns while harming you and i just trying to survive..

Guy the claim that wike said his taskforce members were attacked is just hoarse it will be childish for you to believe this false story.no pictures of then been attacked at the scene to see the wounds b4 taken to the hospital.only to see some of them on hospital bed with a very neat bandage far neater than the new singlets of most nairaland guys and you believe that damage control crap
U say this Corona is live threatening.covid19 is a virus,how come malaria drugs and antibiotics which treat protozoan infections as malaria is used to treat a virus and people are recovering?

MadeINchenzen2:
the guy should show off with sense... especially as his source of wealth is not pronounced. Tony elumelu is rich as well... otedola nkó... He flaunts his money uncontrollably like an illiterate.

Jeff bezos of Amazon, Jack ma of Alibaba, Mark Zuckerberg of facebook. They still live normal lives. These are Educated, rich and intelligent men.

I know as you read this post you dreamt about been like E-money in your dreams

Peterobi90:
Same you shouting about Kano coronavirus case Is here talking about slow down on precaution measures for another state...

You claim he destroyed a building despite the gross disobedience and harm inflicted on same taskforce enforcing the curfew..

Lagos that destroys thousands of bikes quarter after quarter.. are the bikes not means of employment to people?...is the destruction of bikes in the constitution?...

Dear PDP supporter I want to advise you to use your head when you support a political party not sentiments.i am a strong supporter of wike but his demolition of the hotel is reckless and crazy.if only supporters can tell the overhyped politicians to their face when they committed wrong act or decision this Nigeria won't be a shithole as it is now

helinues:
The same yeye Pdp that couldn't advised Wike to slow things down now coming out to condemn FG order.

Yeye party and supporters

I think I agree with you I used to like wike but now I now see that he is nothing than a charged up MAD MAN
