de volledige brief:
Dear Mr ...
We are contacting you to make you aware of a data security event that involves some of your personal data. We are very sorry for any concern that this event may cause you, and this notice will provide you with information about what happened and how we can assist you.
What happened?
As part of our ongoing IT security processes, we discovered unauthorised access to some of our passenger data.
We initially discovered suspicious activity on our network in March this year. Upon discovery, we took immediate action to contain the event, to commence a thorough investigation with the assistance of a leading cybersecurity firm, and to further strengthen our IT security measures. Unauthorised access to certain personal data was confirmed in early May. Since that time, analysis of the data has continued in order to identify affected individuals and to determine whether the data at issue could be reconstructed.
We have no evidence that any personal data has been misused. We recommend that you follow the steps outlined in this notice to help protect yourself against potential risks.
What information was involved?
The following types of personal data about you were accessed:
Address
Name
Title
Your travel or loyalty profile was not accessed in full, and your password was not compromised.
What are we doing to help?
You can find more information at our dedicated website, infosecurity.cathaypacific.com.
Where available in your country, we are offering ID monitoring services to affected passengers. This will be provided by Experian, a global data and information service provider. This service (IdentityWorks Global Internet Surveillance) monitors if your personal data may be available on public websites, chat rooms, blogs, and non-public places on the internet where data can be compromised such as dark web sites.
This is an optional service, and how much information to include in the identity monitoring is completely at your discretion.
The information you provide to Experian will only be used by Experian for the sole purposes of identity monitoring. It will not be published to any other entity.
Please visit the following website:
http://www.globalidworks.com/identity1 and click the Get Started button to activate this 12 month complimentary service. You can then enter your personalized activation code: D6TXBC83C to start your IdentityWorks Global Internet Surveillance.
We have notified, or are notifying, the relevant authorities and the Hong Kong Police.
What should I do?
Although no-one’s travel or loyalty profile was accessed in full and no passwords were compromised, as best practice, we recommend that you consider:
changing your passwords regularly;
checking for any suspicious activity; and
being vigilant against phishing or other attempted scams.
To date, there is no evidence of misuse. However, it is possible that the personal data could be misused for unauthorised purposes such as fraud or identity theft.
As mentioned above and where available in your country, we are offering ID monitoring services to affected passengers. Please visit the following website :
http://www.globalidworks.com/identity1 and click the Get Started button to activate this 12 month complimentary service using your personalized activation code above.

Yours sincerely,
Rupert Hogg
