Globe says Air Canada hacked, claims everything's fine

2023-09-21 08:57 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that hackers obtained access to Air Canada's internal system, compromising the personal information of an unknown number of employees working for the airline. The Globe's Temur Durrani writes that in a brief statement on Wednesday afternoon, Air Canada said "certain records" were affected by the "limited" breach, without naming which ones. The national flagship carrier would not say when the hack happened or when it first learned about the cybersecurity incident. "We can confirm that our flight operations systems and customer-facing systems were not affected. No customer information was accessed," a spokesman for the airline said. Air Canada has notified relevant authorities and contacted some workers. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has received a breach report from Air Canada, said senior communications adviser Vito Pilieci. "We are now reviewing that report in order to determine next steps," Mr. Pilieci said. With Air Canada being headquartered in Montreal, the police of jurisdiction in Quebec is likely to have been contacted by the company. The Sûreté du Québec and RCMP in that province did not respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.
