Hackers claiming affiliation with Anonymous have targeted GlobalX Airlines, an airline reportedly used by the Trump administration for deportations to El Salvador. The hacktivists defaced the airline's website, leaving a message aimed at former President Trump. They also claimed to have stolen sensitive data, including flight records and passenger manifests, potentially exposing details about deportees. The attackers asserted that they were acting because GlobalX was ignoring lawful orders against what they called "fascist plans."
The leaked data, as reported by 404 Media, provides granular insight into who was deported on GlobalX flights, when, and to where. The breached information includes flight logs, passenger lists, and itinerary details spanning from January to May 2025. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact on individuals deported, especially those whose whereabouts were previously unknown, with at least one case showing the hacked data held more accurate records than official government lists.
The hack exposed vulnerabilities in GlobalX's cybersecurity, as the hackers claim to have accessed the company's AWS cloud infrastructure and GitHub account through a developer token. They also claimed to have sent messages to pilots through a flight operations tool. As of this report, neither GlobalX nor the U.S. immigration authorities have issued an official response to the security breach.
