If this means someone is now generally targeting airlines with hacks, it may be a rough ride. Airlines have been using tech for a long time, so their websites are generally an entry point to a mess of legacy integration. And you only have to hack a couple of airlines to get lots of people&#x27;s data. We&#x27;re close to a billion passengers flown per year in the US across all airlines.<p>Also interesting in this context: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rsaconference.com&#x2F;writable&#x2F;presentations&#x2F;file_upload&#x2F;asd-r03_-westjets-security-architecture-made-simple-we-finally-got-it-right.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rsaconference.com&#x2F;writable&#x2F;presentations&#x2F;file_up...</a> <i>&quot;WestJet’s Security Architecture Made Simple We Finally Got It Right (2015)&quot;</i>
