(Reuters) – Delta Air Lines Inc <DAL.N> said on Wednesday some of its customer payment information may have been exposed in a cyber security breach at software service provider [24]7.ai.
[24]7.ai, which provides online chat services for Delta and other companies, found that a cyber security incident affected online customer payment information of its clients, the company said earlier in the day.
The incident began on Sept. 26, 2017 and was found and resolved on Oct. 12 last year, [24]7.ai said.
Personal information related to passport, government identification, security and SkyMiles information was not impacted, Delta said.
The No.2 U.S. carrier said while a small subset of its customers would have had their information exposed, it cannot be said with certainty if their information was accessed and compromised.
