Malaysia Airlines disclosed a cybersecurity incident affecting customer data processed through Amadeus reservation systems between August 2023 and September 2026, joining Cathay Pacific, Asiana, and Japan Airlines in reporting exposure through the same technology supplier. Amadeus identified a vulnerability in a travel-booking display environment; Malaysia Airlines says its own systems were not compromised and has no evidence of financial data access.
