Anonymous Hacks US Deportation Airline GlobalX Data
Hackers affiliated with the Anonymous collective have allegedly breached systems belonging to Global Crossing Airlines (GlobalX), a U.S.-based charter airline contracted for deportation flights. According to reports, the attackers claim to have stolen sensitive flight data, including logs and operational details linked to the airline’s services for U.S. immigration authorities.
The cyber intrusion appears to be politically motivated, targeting GlobalX for its role in deportation logistics. Anonymous published samples of the compromised data as part of its campaign, though the extent of the breach remains unclear.
GlobalX, which operates under government contracts, has not publicly confirmed the incident or commented on potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The breach raises concerns about the protection of sensitive information within airlines serving federal agencies.
This attack is part of a broader trend of hacktivist-driven campaigns aimed at entities involved in immigration enforcement. Authorities have not disclosed whether a formal investigation is underway into the alleged data theft.
