Millions of Wizz Air passengers told to change their passwords
Wizz Air has advised 3.4m customers to change their passwords, amid growing fears the airline may have been the victim of a cyber-attack. Customers were told Friday to switch their old passwords on their accounts immediately and ensure that they were not using them elsewhere, triggering concerns over a potential personal data breach in the airline's systems. Wizz said the advice was due to a technical glitch in its systems and was not linked to a cyber-attack. A spokesperson for Wizz Air said: “At no point was any personal data compromised and resetting the passwords on the WIZZ accounts was a precautionary action. Safety remains a priority for Wizz Air, and that includes the security of our passengers’ data.” The company has not confirmed any further details about the technical irregularity. <br/>
