Episode Details

East Midlands Airport, alongside Manchester and Stansted, suffered a massive cyberattack hitting 8.7 million passengers—stealing booking data for parking, lounges, and Wi-Fi. Hackers demanded ransom, but MAG refuses to pay, working with authorities. The group behind the breach is known to both MAG and law enforcement, with global attacks this year. Stolen info includes emails, phone numbers, car registrations, and postcodes—but no payment details or flight security data was compromised. MAG apologizes for the disruption, brought in specialists, and assures operations remain unaffected. While the hackers’ identities aren’t public yet, this underscores how vulnerable our travel data can be—even when just trying to book a spot.
