Sorry, we are no longer taking on clients in this matter
In 2020, easyJet was the victim of a cyber-attack. It left millions of customers vulnerable to phishing and unsolicited emails. While easyJet contacted these customers to inform them of the breach, they failed to take responsibility for the consequences of their poor security measures.
