Vietnam Airlines Data Breach

What happened

In October 2025, data stolen from the Salesforce instances of multiple companies by a hacking group calling itself "Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters" was publicly released. Among the affected organisations was Vietnam Airlines, which had 7.3M unique customer email addresses exposed following a breach of its Salesforce environment in June of that year. The compromised data also included names, phone numbers, dates of birth, and loyalty program membership numbers.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Vietnam Airlines — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
