American Airlines announced that it was targeted in a hacking attack that has compromised the data of its employees as well as customers.

In an email sent to potentially affected users, American Airlines revealed that it discovered an “unauthorized actor” as having compromised the email accounts of a few team members in July. The firm soon secured the accounts and hired a forensic firm to investigate the matter, which found that “certain personal information” was present in the email accounts.
