APT Travel Group (ATG) has assured the industry it is not aware of any misuse, dissemination of disclosure of a “small subset of data” which may have been downloaded in a network intrusion.
The company, which last week advised travel agents it was experiencing communication issues, has confirmed preliminary findings of a “cyber incident involving unauthorised access to our systems”.
An extensive investigation is under way, and in the meantime ATG’s IT team, with the assistance of external experts, has now managed to return booking systems to operation and establish a special reservations email address which is now live at ATGreservations@outlook.com.
Authorities have been advised of the incident, with ATG saying it will work with law enforcement agencies and privacy regulators as required.
Access to the group’s servers has been restricted, with the issue impacting the ability for ATG staff to work from home during the current lockdown in Victoria – more in today’s Travel Daily.
