Look out if you are a celebrity.
Staff of the airline you are flying with might just be leaking your flight info.
Perhaps to paparazzi, maybe to stalkers. Who knows?
An incident involving South Korean boy band BTS (I thought that was the Bangkok Transport System, but there you go) recently hit the headlines.
Police are investigating an airline employee who is suspected of leaking flight details of celebrities, including those of the K-Pop stars.
South Korean police detained a woman in her 30s who is accused of selling the data.
The flight information leaked covers travel in 2023 and 2024 and allegedly covers hundreds of flights.
The woman has not been named, but works for an Asian airline.
She is suspected of using the airline’s systems to access passenger flight details including seat numbers, news portal Travel Mole reported.
South Korea police said they could expand the investigation to other people linked to the scheme.
“I initially obtained the boarding information at the request of an acquaintance, and later sold it for money,” the woman reportedly told police.
