In the second major Indian airline data breach over the past six months, Air India announced it suffered a massive data breach that exposed 4.5 million customers’ data. Air India issued a statement saying that it first learned of the breach on February 25, 2021, but that it clarified the identity of the affected data subjects on March 25 and April 5.
