Korean Air data breach exposes data of thousands of employees

Korean Air disclosed a data breach originating from its in-flight catering supplier KC&D after the supplier was hacked; employee personal information including names and bank account numbers was compromised and local reports indicate roughly 30,000 records were exfiltrated. The Clop ransomware group claimed responsibility and published the stolen data on its leak site, linking this incident to a broader series of Clop data theft attacks targeting Oracle EBS and other enterprise platforms. Korean Air has notified authorities and advised employees to watch for phishing and fraud attempts while investigating scope and impact.
