220 million traveler records exposed in Vietnam-linked APIS leak
An exposed Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) database linked to Vietnam stored 220 million passenger and crew records, including names, passport numbers, dates of birth, nationalities, and flight details from 2017 to 2026. Researchers gained access to the cloud-based system using default credentials.
Why it matters: Airlines, airports, and governments relying on this APIS infrastructure face identity theft and fraud risk for hundreds of millions of travelers; practitioners should audit APIS deployments for default credentials and access controls immediately.
