Delta airlines recently experienced a data breach affecting customers who manually entered their payment card information into an online Delta payment application. The size of the data loss was small when compared to much larger data breaches but it did involve card number and expiration dates. If you recall manually entering your payment card information into a Delta app between Sept and October 2017 then you may need to contact your card issuer to request a new replacement.
Delta and Sears said today that a data breach may have leaked the credit card information of hundreds of thousands of customers, as first reported by Reuters. The breach occurred at an online support service company, [24]7, which powers both Delta and Sears’ online chat platforms.
Last year, [24]7 suffered a malware attack from September 27th to October 12th, but the company only informed Sears and Delta in mid-March this year about the breach, according to Sears. Delta said in a statement that “it is our understanding” the incident occurred from September 26th last year, and [24]7 also stated the incident began on the 26th. Customers who made online purchases from Sears and Delta during that time period could have had their credit card information compromised.
