Malindo Air says data leak caused by ex-staffers at contractor firm

Lion Group's Malaysian subsidiary Malindo Air said Monday that 2 former employees of its e-commerce contractor were responsible for its passenger data breach. Malindo Air made the breach public last week after cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab said in a report that the details of around 30m passengers of Malindo and another Lion Group subsidiary Thai Lion Air were posted in online forums. Kaspersky said parts of the leaked databases were up for sale on the dark web. Malindo Air said that former employees of e-commerce services provider GoQuo in their development centre in India "improperly accessed and stole the personal data of our customers". Malindo Air also said that no of the payment details of customers were compromised. <br/>
