Extortion Group FulcrumSec Claims 86GB Manchester Airports Data Theft
Extortion group FulcrumSec claims stealing 86GB of Manchester Airports Group data, exposing 8.7 million customers' personal and booking details.
Manchester Airports Group disclosed a breach on August 27 affecting parking, lounge, Fast Track and WiFi registrations at Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports, impacting 8.7 million customers, most exposed only email addresses. FulcrumSec claims it stole about 86GB via airport-specific Iterable API credentials exposed in client-side JavaScript, including a 21.5GB Manchester export with booking histories, marketing data and nearly 200,000 records on upcoming 2026 travel. BleepingComputer verified sample records against a real traveler's Fast Track history; MAG declined to address the group's specific claims. Researchers warn the combination of UK postcodes, vehicle registrations and booking details could enable convincing targeted phishing, and MAG says no payment card or banking data was exposed.
