WestJet Restores Some Services After Cyber Incident

WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline, is investigating a cybersecurity incident that has disrupted access to its internal systems, website, and app, although flight operations remain unaffected and safe. The airline has activated specialized response teams and is working with law enforcement and Transport Canada to address the breach and minimize its impact. Customers and employees are advised to be extra cautious with personal information during the ongoing investigation. While digital services were initially restricted, some have since been restored. WestJet has not disclosed if any personal data was compromised or the exact nature of the attack, promising further updates. Airlines continue to be frequent targets for cyberattacks due to the sensitive data they handle.
