Carnival Cruise Lines has suffered from another cyber attack. Customers and employees of the Carnival Cruise Line may be affected after threat actors gained access to some of the company’s IT systems in this latest attack.

The company recently sent a data breach notification letter to affected customers stating that, "Unauthorized third-party access to a limited number of email accounts was detected on March 19, 2021.”

The letter further states that sensitive data that may have been involved in the breach such as personal, financial, and health information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, passport numbers, COVID testing and in limited instances social security or national identification numbers.

While company representatives are claiming “a low likelihood of data being misused,” they are still warning customers, employees and medical person from Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises.  

This recent event comes after the company was hit by ransomware twice in 2020.
