More than 1.6 million files contained personal information about the aircraft’s crew, including photographs and signatures.

According to researchers, cybercriminals can spoof sensitive flight data and secret files using passwords and secret keys found in the PegasusEFB bucket. This impact could affect the safety of every passenger and crew member of Pegasus around the world. Subsidiary airlines using PegasusEFB may also be affected.
