Asiana Airlines' customer database leaked on Internet

Tens of thousands of items of sensitive passenger information have been leaked on the Internet in a large-scale private data breach against Asiana Airlines. The information includes citizen resident numbers, passport information, home addresses, bank account details, phone numbers and family relations records. The information, saved on the company's website for the past several years, is believed to have been compromised. The Korea Times was able to access hundreds of scanned private documents belonging to customers. They are part of an estimated 47,000 documents believed to have been compromised. Computer engineers who analysed the exposed data and the way it was accessed said the scanned documents appear to have been attached to customers' query emails to Asiana. <br/>
