"Air Europa Data Breach: Customers Warned to Cancel Credit Cards"

Spanish airline Air Europa, the country's third-largest airline and a member of the SkyTeam alliance, recently warned customers to cancel their credit cards after attackers accessed their card information in a recent data breach.  The credit card details exposed in the breach include card numbers, expiration dates, and the 3-digit CVV (Card Verification Value) code on the back of the payment cards.  The airline also warned affected customers to ask their banks to cancel their cards used on its website due to "the risk of card spoofing and fraud" and "to prevent possible fraudulent use."  Customers were also advised not to provide their personal info or card PINs to anyone contacting them over the phone or via email and not to open any links in emails or messages warning them of fraudulent operations involving their cards.  Air Europa has not yet revealed how many of its customers were affected by the data breach, the date its systems were breached, and when the incident was detected.
