Data of five thousand pilots leaked. They used a single portal

Danish Meteorological Institute reported unauthorized access to personal data, including names, citizenship, email addresses, and pilot license numbers. Affected individuals were notified to change their passwords. The breach occurred on October 22 due to vulnerabilities in PHP software, prompting the institute to temporarily shut down its services for security updates. The incident has been reported to Danish police and data protection authorities. The Northavimet portal, part of the NAMCON consortium, provides meteorological information for flight planning in eight Nordic countries.
