Air Canada has reported a “brief” hacking incident by an unauthorized group that compromised its internal system servers. Intruders accessed the personal information of a number of employees, the carrier said.

“An unauthorized group briefly obtained limited access to an internal Air Canada system related to limited personal information of some employees and certain records,” Air Canada said in a Sept. 20 statement.
