Executive Summary
In November 2025, Spanish airline Iberia disclosed a data breach originating from a compromised third-party supplier - a vulnerability in the Collins Aerospace vMUSE passenger-processing system. The Everest ransomware group claimed responsibility and, after its ransom deadline passed, published the stolen data (~596GB of internal company data). Exposed customer data included names, email addresses, and Iberia Club loyalty-card numbers; account passwords and financial/banking details were not accessed.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure enables travel fraud, phishing, booking impersonation, and physical-world targeting. Itinerary and loyalty data can also reveal movement patterns and likely absence from home.
Breach Impact
The identity, contact, and loyalty data supports targeted phishing and loyalty-account fraud against travelers; no credentials or payment data were exposed.
