About the claim
Which personal details were compromised?
The personal data breached includes:
- Full names
- Email addresses
- Travel data (including personal information about departures, arrivals, and booking dates.
The exposure of individuals’ personal travel patterns may pose security risks to individuals and is a gross invasion of privacy.
easyJet also revealed that approximately 2,200 passengers had their credit card data stolen, including expiry dates and CVV numbers.
What did easyJet do to help?
Following the discovery of the data breach in January 2020, easyJet waited four months to inform their customers that their data had been breached.
In their notification email, easyJet simply told customers to continue “to be alert as you would normally be, especially with any unsolicited communications.“
Customers whose financial details were stolen by potential cyber criminals were offered a free 12-month membership to a credit checking service to help them to monitor any suspicious use of their identity.
