Canada’s privacy commissioner has launched an inquiry into a cyberattack against WestJet, during which a “malicious actor” was able to access the airline’s systems.
The airline announced in a statement last month that a “sophisticated, criminal” third party managed to access certain personal and travel-related information during a June cybersecurity breach. WestJet said it had identified all individuals impacted by the breach and would contact them.
