Delhi Police, which is currently investigating the case, said that the hackers created 20 email IDs to divert the reward points earned by passengers. It is now tracking the people whose tickets have been booked using the stolen flyer miles to find the culprits.
Many of the tickets were purchased using invalid ID proof and under the same signature, which has led the police to suspect a nexus between former Air India employees who knew about the loopholes in the system and approved the tickets, a travel agency, as well as the hackers. The airlines has deactivated the hacked accounts and suspended the suspicious IDs.
