FulcrumSec told BleepingComputer it stole about 86 GB of data from Manchester Airports Group, which disclosed an unauthorized customer-data theft on Aug. 27. The publication reviewed samples and verified one traveler record against known purchase history; the samples included booking and travel information beyond MAG's initial disclosure. FulcrumSec also alleged access through airport-specific Iterable API credentials exposed in client-side JavaScript. MAG declined to address those specific claims and says it has contacted affected customers.
