BA says 185,000 more customers affected in cyber attack

British Airways owner IAG on Thursday said that a further 185,000 customers may have had their personal details stolen in a cyber attack earlier this year.
This includes the holders of 77,000 payment cards whose name, billing address, email address, card payment information have potentially been compromised. A further 108,000 people's personal details without card verification value have also been compromised, the airline said in a statement.
"While British Airways does not have conclusive evidence that the data was removed from its systems, it is taking a prudent approach in notifying potentially affected customers, advising them to contact their bank or card provider as a precaution," it said.
