Manchester Airports Group suffered a large data breach exposing 86 GB of sensitive customer travel and booking data via exposed Iterable marketing platform API credentials embedded in public JavaScript code, allowing access without traditional hacking.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other, and 8 sources have reported it between 27 Aug 2026 and 3 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your platform’s API credentials can be the weakest link if exposed in public code. Close this risk immediately or face large data losses that fly under traditional security detection.
