Turkish hackers tried to steal personal information from Israir customers, Channel 12 reports.
The attempt to steal information from a third-party service provider was identified a few days ago and blocked in its early stages, according to the report.
Investigators are still working to figure out what details leaked, and believe that credit card information did not reach the hackers. However, passport numbers and ticket information may have.
At no point were the Israeli airline’s computer systems themselves in danger, says the company.
The airline says in a statement reported by the network that the leak may have involved “a limited amount of information connected to [customer] orders and tickets.” It adds that “the incident was blocked and contained.”
