With over 3,000 employees, the Budapest-based airline company Wizz Air offers over 600 routes from 25 bases in Central and Eastern Europe, being a large player in low-cost air travel services.
Airline blames "technical irregularity"
The company today sent out emails informing customers that it discovered and dealt with "some temporary technical irregularity." To err on the side of caution, the airline decided to lock user accounts and force them to change the account login password.

As you can see from the email, there are no specific details about the incident, so some users feared that this was a way to inform customers that the company has been hacked. Thinking of a possible data breach, another customer reminded the company that under GDPR they have to provide a full and detailed account of the incident.

It appears that these assumptions are nothing to fret about. BleepingComputer has learned from a company representative that personal data belonging to customers was not affected in any way.
