A cyberattack at Manchester Airports Group (MAG) has compromised the data of 8.7 million customers across Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands airports. The breach, reported on August 28, 2026, was discovered on August 25 following unauthorized access to customer data including email addresses, phone numbers, and vehicle registration numbers, though no payment details were compromised. MAG temporarily suspended its Manage My Booking service as a precaution but reported no disruption to airport operations.
The incident coincided with a peak travel season, raising concerns about targeted phishing attacks leveraging the stolen data. Authorities have not identified the attackers, and the incident adds to the series of cyberattacks targeting UK infrastructure.
