"Specifically, this data breach does not involve KrisFlyer and PPS member passwords, credit card information and other customer data such as itineraries, reservations, ticketing, passport numbers and email addresses," SIA said. "We would also like to reassure all customers that none of SIA’s IT systems have been affected by this incident."
