FulcrumSec leaked about 550 GB of Manchester Airports Group data, exposing emails, phones and vehicle registrations of roughly 8.8 million people after a refused ransom.
Manchester Airports Group, operator of Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports, confirmed a breach of a third-party database after extortion group FulcrumSec leaked roughly 550 GB of data. The exposed data includes about 8.8 million email addresses and phone numbers, 108,077 vehicle registration plates, 2.48 million purchases and 1.16 billion email events, with no payment-card data accessed. FulcrumSec claims it gained access using Iterable admin keys hardcoded in the frontend JavaScript of all three airport websites, a claim MAG has not confirmed. Have I Been Pwned added the incident to its breach database.
