Anonymous Hacks GlobalX Air, Exposes Deportation Records

The hacker collective Anonymous breached the website of GlobalX Airlines, a charter carrier contracted by the Trump administration for deportation flights, in protest of deportations to El Salvador that continued despite a federal judge's order deeming them unlawful. In the attack, Anonymous defaced the airline's website with a message criticizing the administration and claimed to have stolen sensitive flight records and passenger manifests, exposing details about deportees and specific flights central to ongoing legal challenges. The group stated it was acting to 'enforce the Judge's order' after the administration and airline allegedly ignored lawful judicial rulings regarding the removal of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The leaked data reportedly includes information on flights that left despite last-minute court interventions, along with identities and personal details of deportees. GlobalX, previously positioned as a luxury charter service, has shifted much of its business to government deportation contracts, raising concerns about detainee treatment and flight safety. The airline has since regained control of its website, but the breach highlights ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement and the use of private contractors.
