Delta Says Data Exposed for 'Several Hundred Thousand' Customers
Delta Air Lines Inc. said a cyber attack on a contractor potentially exposed the payment information of "several hundred thousand customers."
A data breach from Sept. 26 to Oct. 12 at a company called [24]7.ai allowed unauthorized access to customers' names, address, payment-card information, CVV numbers and expiration dates, Delta said in a statement Thursday. The vendor, which provides online chat services to Delta, notified the carrier and other clients last week.
[...] Delta said it wasn't yet able to say how many customers actually had their data stolen. The information was at risk if a customer entered data manually online to complete a payment transaction, Delta said. Data from customers who used a program called Delta Wallet weren't compromised.

> I note that they didn't mention SSNs being leaked here.
Is there even a need for that anymore? They can just correlate it with the Equifax data, which AFAIK already contains SSNs for almost the entire adult population of the US. At this point, leaking SSNs is kind of redundant. Maybe the data set even had them, but the hackers just weren't interested :)
