The breach affected airlines including Japan Airlines, ANA, Korean Air, Asiana, Cathay Pacific, and Malaysia Airlines, with no evidence of financial data access to date.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Shared reservation platforms are now a single point of failure for every airline customer's data across Asia. Airlines are forced to own a three-year breach window to regulators and passengers—and so will every startup selling travel or ticketing software that depends on a third-party booking backbone.
