Easyjet has warned customers to be on alert for “phishing” emails after nine million had their email addresses and travel details exposed in a cyber attack.

Hackers are believed to have accessed details of bookings made between mid-October 2019 and early March 2020 , as well as credit card details of 2,000 customers.

The carrier said it became aware of the breach in January and took “immediate steps”.

It apologised and said all those affected will be contacted in coming days.

It added it had “no evidence” that personal data had been misused.
