- Airline Bot Problem – affected the Scraping of Flights Information, Fraudulent GDS Queries, and Skewed Look to Book Ratio. Cyber attackers used bots to undertake credential cracking and credential stuffing assaults. Personal information (PII), credit card data, gift card vouchers, and travel history were among the items stolen from user accounts. Illicit virtual currency transfers, such as reward points, wallet money, air miles, gift cards, and so on were also made through those details.
