The personal details of around seven thousand individuals from Etihad’s loyalty program were sent to the Gulf News by an anonymous source.

The breach was a result of an attack on a third party that worked with the airline in 2013 to run a promotional campaign

The leaked information included the names, email addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses of the customers.
