An airline breach just handed cybercriminals the personal data of 57 million flyers. And the way it happened? Disturbingly common.
The attackers gained access through a compromised third-party vendor, bypassing direct defenses and slipping into the airline’s system with ease. This wasn’t just about a weak password or a missed patch – it was about blind trust.
The exposed data includes names, emails, phone numbers, booking details, and in some cases, passport and travel document information. It’s a treasure trove for identity fraud, travel scams, and long-tail social engineering campaigns.
What’s worse – the breach wasn’t discovered until long after the data had already been accessed.
In a world where supply chain risk is the new frontline, enterprises need to stop focusing solely on perimeter tools and start simulating how attackers actually think.
At AUMINT.io, we create real-world social engineering simulations – phishing, vendor impersonation, invoice fraud, MFA fatigue – based on what threat actors are doing right now.
No static checklist can predict the next breach. But a system that adapts to evolving tactics and tests your team in live scenarios can.
Think your vendors are safe? Your employees aware? Your processes secure?

Because if attackers can get to your customers through someone you trust – the damage is already done.
Don’t just react. Train, simulate, and expose the cracks before someone else does.
