Data breach affects Solarius Aviation, Jet Aviation client information

摘要

Charter provider and aircraft management firm Solairus Aviation in late March disclosed that some employee and client information had been accessed in a security breach of the Microsoft Azure cloud hosting platform of flight management systems provider Avianis, certain assets of which were acquired in 2019 by Wheels Up. Solarius is the second business aviation company to report a breach of its data through Avianis, with Jet Aviation experiencing a similar compromise of employee and customer information during the same period as Solairus. Both companies reported they were notified by Avianis of the breach in December. Avianis hosted Solairus's flight scheduling and tracking system. "This incident impacted a subset of customers that use this storage system connected with the Avianis platform, but all other Wheels Up and Avianis systems and databases were not affected," Wheels Up said in a statement provided to AIN.
