Singapore Airlines (SIA) says a software glitch was the cause of a data breach that affected 284 members of its frequent flyer programme, compromising various personal information including passport and flight details. 

The “software bug” surfaced after changes were made to the Singapore carrier’s website on January 4 and enabled some of its Krisflyer members to view information belonging to other travellers, SIA told ZDNet in an email. 

A spokesperson said a review of its system logs revealed 284 such cases, of which 277 might have exposed the member’s name, email address, account number, membership tier status, Krisflyer miles, recent miles transactions, upcoming flights, and Krisflyer rewards.
