On Tuesday (14th of Feb) evening, Scandinavian airline SAS (SAS.ST) experienced a cyber attack that resulted in the leaking of customer information from its app and website. The hack caused the carrier’s website to become paralysed. SAS has advised customers not to use the app and website as a precautionary measure. However, the airline later announced that it had resolved the problem.

Karin Nyman, head of press at SAS, stated that the company was working on remedying the attack on its app and website at the time of the incident. She also cautioned customers that logging onto the app posed a risk of obtaining incorrect information. As the attack was ongoing, Nyman refrained from providing further details.

Reports suggested that customers who tried to log into the SAS app were directed to the wrong accounts and had access to the personal details of others. This issue was reported by customers in Norway as well.

Several Swedish companies and organisations have been targeted by presumed cyber attacks recently. On Tuesday, Sweden’s national public television broadcaster, SVT, experienced a temporary shutdown. The broadcaster attributed the attack to a group called “Anonymous Sudan,” which posted on Telegram that Swedish media would be targeted due to Koran burnings in Sweden.
