Seattle (AP) -- Alaska Airlines says it is taking precautions including requiring employees to change their passwords after Virgin America's computer systems were hacked.
An Alaska Airlines spokeswoman said Monday that the company noticed unusual activity in Virgin's systems in March and notified law enforcement and hired cybersecurity experts. She said customer information wasn't affected but employees and contractors will be required to change passwords every 90 days.
