Full timeline through 2026
2023 — customer portal account abuse; ~3,200 supplier contacts exposed (USDoD / BreachForums)
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. In September 2023, coverage in The Record, The Register, Krebs on Security, and SecurityWeek described Airbus investigating publication of data tied to roughly 3,200 suppliers/partners after a threat actor (“USDoD”) claimed access via a compromised customer/airline-side IT account used to reach an Airbus web portal for that customer’s documents. Airbus publicly framed the issue as abuse of credentials associated with a customer account downloading customer-specific portal material—not Airbus’s enterprise-wide mass Exposed categories include Business-contact style fields for suppliers/vendors and customer portal–scoped documents described in press (names, addresses, phones, emails cited). BreachHistory cites approximately 3K+ affected records in this row. See the airbus2023 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
