https://bit.ly/45Erv8m - 🕵️‍♂️ Reports indicate a surge in cyberattacks on airline accounts, leading to a significant loss of points for victims. Hackers have reportedly been running illegal travel agencies with the stolen points. Victims have lost hundreds of thousands of points in some instances. #CyberSecurity #AirlineHacks 🛫 One victim reported 50k miles missing and later found out someone had booked a flight using their points. It isn't just miles being targeted, with reports of stolen hotel points, hacked loyalty accounts, and loans taken out on travel rewards credit cards. #DataBreach #Fraud 💻 According to Pete Nicoletti from cybersecurity company Check Point, these cyber thieves have free points to sell tickets, making money from stolen assets. These illegal agencies book flights at the last minute, making it difficult for the actual account owner to notice the theft in time. #CyberCrime #CyberThreats 🛡️ How do these thieves get access to your rewards accounts? Typically, it starts with a phishing email that looks like it's from an airline, hotel, or travel site. If you enter your password on these fake sites, you hand over account access to the attackers. #Phishing #DigitalSecurity 💡 Nicoletti offers some protection tips: watch for changes in your rewards account, use multi-factor authentication, be wary of emails that appear to be from travel businesses, and routinely check your rewards accounts even if they're empty. It's also advised to create complex, unique passwords to deter potential hacking attempts.
