A class action lawsuit has been filed against Air France alleging the airline failed to prevent a data breach that compromised the personal information of thousands of customers. Plaintiffs Ethan Allison and Arya Soofiani claim Air France did not implement adequate security measures, making it vulnerable to cyberattacks. They argue the airline’s negligence includes insufficient employee training and inadequate monitoring of vendors. The lawsuit alleges violations of several laws, including California’s Unfair Competition Law and the California Customer Records Act and Consumer Privacy Act, and seeks compensatory, exemplary, and punitive damages. This case is one of several data breach lawsuits facing airlines this year, including Delta, American Airlines, and Alaska Airlines. The plaintiffs are seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as damages for themselves and all class members affected by the breach.
