I haven't seen much discussion on this forum about the aftermath of the Bangkok Airways data breach back in July, except some people reporting unauthorized charges on a credit/debit card they used to pay for a flight in June/July and the need to cancel that card.
And, of course, there were the usual keyboard wits who joked about "oh, no, now the hackers know my meal preferences!"
Is anyone experiencing any fallout or lost any money?
I'm sure spending much time getting over the fallout. When we had five unauthorized charges, all within two days, for the same amount, from an online seller of vitamins and nutritional supplements -- a company we've never dealt with -- our credit card company reversed the charges and cancelled the card. So, we were without the card for a couple of weeks, waiting for the new one.
Meanwhile, Hubby and I were left with our Amex cards, which are of limited value in many places, but fortunately we had a good balance in our Bangkok Bank account and cash works well in Thailand.
However, that Visa card was used for various online subscription services, automatic payments, etc. It really was our lifeblood.
So far, I'd estimate I've spent about 30 hours getting our life up and running again after the data breach.
Has anyone contacted Bangkok Air about this? It would seem the least they could do is give us a couple of free round trips from Chiang Mai to Bangkok.
