>data of about 9.4 million passengers of Cathay and its unit Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Limited had been accessed without authorization.
>860,000 passport numbers, about 245,000 Hong Kong identity card numbers, 403 expired credit card numbers and 27 credit card numbers with no card verification value (CVV) were accessed in the breach.
Those numbers don't seem to add up to anything close to 9.4 million. Feel like I'm missing something.
- Lazare 8y agoMy assumption is a bunch of "less critical" info on ~8m pasengers was accessed (phone numbers? names?), and then ~1m had passport or credit card numbers leaked, and they itemised the "more important" ones explicitly. It doesn't make a lot of sense however I parse it, but that's the only thing that makes the numbers work.
- Arn_Thor 8y agoSCMP reports: "Information consists of passengers’ names, nationalities, dates of birth, identity card numbers and historical travel details." So for the majority it'll be one or more of those data sets.
