The personal data of 9.4m Cathay Pacific passengers has been stolen in a cyber attack on the Hong Kong airline.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/10/24/cathay-pacific-says-data-94-million-passengers-stolen-hack/Ryan Wilk, vice president at NuData Security said Data in the wrong hands especially payment card information can have a huge impact on customers, far beyond the unauthorised use of their cards.
Payment card information, combined with other user data from other breaches and social media, builds a complete profile. In the hands of fraudsters and criminal organisations, these valuable identity sets are usually sold to other cybercriminals and used for myriad criminal activities.
Maybe instances such as this will wake people up to the tangible benefits of using Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency-not being as vulnerable in an age of unbeknownst vulnerability.
It won't wake up the people to take part in blockchain technology in which we still have attacks in the Cryptocurrency atmosphere, but in my own say it will be on a safe speculations to bring it down to blockchain technology crypto is the future and it has definitely come to stay.
