Delta Air Lines Inc. said a cyber attack on a contractor potentially exposed the payment information of “several hundred thousand customers.”
A data breach from Sept. 26 to Oct. 12 at a company called [24]7.ai allowed unauthorized access to customers’ names, address, payment-card information, CVV numbers and expiration dates, Delta said in a statement Thursday. The vendor, which provides online chat services to Delta, notified the carrier and other clients last week.
