Extortion Group FulcrumSec Claims 86GB Manchester Airports Group Data Theft
Extortion group FulcrumSec claims to have stolen 86GB of data from Manchester Airports Group after discovering exposed API credentials in client-side JavaScript code. The breach affects multiple UK airports operated by MAG, including Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands, with the company's disclosure coming on August 27 followed by FulcrumSec's extortion claim two days later. The incident highlights the continued risk of credential exposure in web application code as a vector for large-scale data theft.
