United Airlines, the world's second largest airlines, disclosed on July 29th that it was breached in May or early June of 2015. It is believed the attack was the work of a group of China-backed hackers behind other major breaches including the Anthem breach. Stolen data includes manifests with information on flights' passengers and destinations. United may be getting assistance from Fed investigators now working on the OPM hack. There are indications that the hackers may have been in the network for months.
