No sensitive credit card or passport data has been compromised in connection with the cyber attack against SAS on Tuesday, the airline announced.
”"There is no risk that the information could have been exploited," says SAS's head of communications, Karin Nyman.

On Tuesday, SAS was Website and app down for a period, as a result of a brute force attack against the airline.

Passenger data also became visible to other passengers who were active during the attack, according to the airline.

Travelers were urged during the evening not to use the SAS app.

The information that became visible to other travelers was some passengers' contact information, information about previous and upcoming trips, and the last four digits of the credit card number, SAS states.

”"This is causing great concern. We want to assure customers that what was shown in the form of a credit card was the last four digits of the credit card number. There has been no risk that this information has been exploited," says SAS's communications manager Karin Nyman.

No passport data has been leaked and no Eurobonus points have been affected, according to the airline.

On Wednesday, SAS announced that the problems had been resolved.

”"Everything is back to normal. But we know that this type of attack is often followed by more. That means we are monitoring the situation very carefully," says Karin Nyman.

”Measures have been taken to ensure that this cannot happen again.”

Recently, several large Swedish websites have been affected by IT attacks and disruptions.
