The pay and benefits information of over 2,000 DAA employees, who manage Ireland’s Dublin airport, have been compromised in a recent cyberattack on professional service company Aon.
The Sunday Times cited a DAA representative as saying, “DAA can confirm that as a result of a recent cyberattack on Aon, a third-party provider, data relating to some employees’ pay and benefits were compromised.”
According to the publication, DAA was one of many multinational corporations impacted by the hack last month on Aon’s file-transfer software platform MOVEit.
U.S. government agencies, the UK’s telecom regulator, and energy giant Shell are among the victims of the onslaught, which was caused by a security hole in Progress Software’s MOVEit product that was found in May.
The chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co announced on Friday that one of its suppliers had been attacked online.
