Financial and personal data has been stolen from potentially hundreds of thousands of British Airways customers who booked online in recent weeks, extending a run of embarrassing technological mishaps suffered by the UK flag carrier.
The thefts occurred during a data breach that affected bookings made on the airline's website and app between Aug 21 and Sept 5, parent International Airlines Group said on Thursday.
