Part 7/15:

Many organizations, especially in sectors like aviation and government, have embraced digital transformation, integrating extensive data collection and sophisticated apps. For example, airlines like AirAsia have developed “super apps” that combine flight booking, accommodation, transportation, and payment services. These platforms generate vast pools of data, including personal identifiers, payment details, and location information.

However, such reliance on digital platforms introduces vulnerabilities. The recent breach of AirAsia's data involved personal, employee, and passenger data, which could be exploited for social engineering or targeted scams. Moreover, the aggregation of data across services creates tempting targets for hackers seeking to maximize their impact.
