Kenya Airways

Kenya Airways Ltd. experienced a significant ransomware attack resulting in the internet leakage of private company data.

Some data samples taken during the attack were recently released by the hacker collective Ransomexx.

In addition to death certificates, accident reports, passport applications, and airline plans, the leaked data also contains information about the airline's previous passengers and its investigative operations.

Online leaks have purportedly revealed confidential data that was dubiously taken from Kenya Airlines' (KQ) digital systems.
