    Air Canada Inc. is advising customers of their mobile app to reset their passwords after it detected a potential data breach. The airline said in a notice to customers Tuesday that it detected “unusual login behavior” between Aug. 22 and 24. “We immediately took action to block these attempts and implemented additional protocols to protect against further unauthorized attempts,” it added. Air Canada added that it believes the accounts of up to 20,000 profiles out of 1.7 million customers, “may potentially have been improperly accessed.” (SiliconANGLE)

    Yep... I got the notification. This is what I get for flying Air Canada to Toronto regularly.

    Thanks

    It's really annoying, to put it mildly, when companies don't take precautions to avoid that.
