What’s next after airlines? Asia data breach raises wider cyber fears

A massive data breach that affected several airlines across Asia has underscored the need for industries in the region to revisit their reliance on third-party suppliers, analysts have said, warning that more critical infrastructure may soon be affected.

Last week, a wave of airlines reported that customer information was accessed in a data security breach involving Spanish software provider Amadeus.

Several of these breaches involved information found in booking details, including flight data, passenger names, booking reference numbers and travel itineraries.
