British Airways: Half a million scammed passengers given green light to sue airline – Usa Today Post
British Airways announced that it had suffered a cyber attack on its systems last September, forcing the ICO to launch a full investigation into the extent of the hack. The office found that the data of 500,000 customers was put at risk, including names, addresses and payment information. British Airways has since been fined £183million over the breach, however affected passengers are also being told they can pursue further legal action if necessary. The ICO investigation outlines “poor security arrangements” as the main catalyst for the hack.
