There is a risk that users of the App getting incorrect information by logging onto the app and the airline has advised its customers to refrain from using it.

According to sources, customers who tried to log into the SAS app were logged onto the wrong accounts and had access to personal details of other people. Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang reported that this happened to Norwegian customers as well. Various other Swedish companies and organisations have recently been hit by presumed cyber attacks.

The Swedish SVT broadcaster reported that a group called “Anonymous Sudan” had taken credit for the attack posting on Telegram that Swedish media would be attacked as a result of Koran burnings in Sweden. Meanwhile, pro-Russian hackers from the UserSec group said on Telegram they were helping Anonymous Sudan attack Sweden’s airports.
