It has been reported that 16 companies from around the globe have exposed credit card data during payments to their mobile websites and apps, including Aer Lingus, Chiltern Railways, EasyJet, San Diego Zoo, Air Canada, Sistic and AirAsia.
Reports suggest the leakages seem to be being caused by not using HTTPS secure protocol to secure and encrypt data connections between the mobile device and the company’s website, mobile website or backend web services.
