"97 of the World's 100 Largest Airports Have Massive Cybersecurity Risks"

In a new study on the world's biggest airports, a security company ImmuniWeb found that almost all of them had an alarming lack of systems in place to protect their websites, mobile applications, and public clouds. 66 of the top 100 airports had highly confidential data like IDs, financial records, or plaintext passwords for production systems located on the dark web. 87 percent of the airports had some sensitive or internal data exposed at various public code repositories, such as GitHub or BitBucket. Amongst them, 59 airports were identified with 227 code leakages of critical risk. The researchers also discovered that  More than 70 of the 325 exposures found are of a "critical or high risk," indicating a severe breach. Nearly 90% of the airports have data leaks on public code repositories, and 503 of the 3,184 leaks are of a critical or high risk that could potentially lead to a breach. Three percent of airports studied have unprotected public clouds with sensitive data available.
