Envoy Air hit by Oracle-linked cyberattack, confirms limited data exposure
Envoy Air, the largest regional carrier for American Airlines (AAL.O), confirmed on Friday that it was the victim of a cyberattack linked to Oracle (ORCL.N) E-Business Suite vulnerabilities, part of a broader hacking campaign carried out by the CL0P extortion group.
The Texas-based airline said it had launched an internal investigation and contacted law enforcement after discovering the breach, which affected systems connected to Oracle software.
“We have conducted a thorough review of the data at issue and have confirmed no sensitive or customer data was affected,” a company spokesperson said. “A limited amount of business information and commercial contact details may have been compromised.”
Envoy Air operates over 160 aircraft and 875 daily flights for American Airlines. The company is the second confirmed victim of the campaign, which cybersecurity experts say has exploited weaknesses in Oracle’s enterprise systems to infiltrate corporate networks.
The CL0P ransomware group, known for previous high-profile attacks on software providers, claimed responsibility and listed American Airlines on its website as one of the victims, though the airline said questions should be directed to Envoy.
Google’s cybersecurity team said earlier this month that the ongoing campaign may have been active for over three months, resulting in the theft of “mass amounts of customer data” from various organizations. Harvard University also confirmed it was targeted in a similar attack earlier this week.
The breach underscores the growing risks associated with third-party enterprise software, particularly as hackers increasingly exploit widely used business platforms for extortion.
Cellnex sells French data center arm Towerlink France for €391 million
Cellnex (CLNX.MC), Europe’s largest mobile tower operator, announced on Friday that it has agreed to sell its French data center unit, Towerlink France, to Vauban Infra Fibre for €391 million ($458 million).
The Spanish company said the deal, made through its French subsidiary, will be fully settled in cash upon completion. The transaction covers 99.99% of Towerlink France’s share capital.
The sale marks another key step in Cellnex’s strategic shift from aggressive acquisitions toward strengthening its balance sheet and focusing on its core telecom infrastructure business.
In September, Reuters reported that Cellnex had been in talks with advisers to divest its French data center operations as part of broader restructuring efforts. Towerlink France operates the company’s main data center activities in the country.
The move follows a string of recent asset sales aimed at reducing debt and improving liquidity. Earlier this year, Cellnex sold its Austrian operations for €803 million and its Irish business for €971 million, freeing up significant capital.
Analysts say the divestments reflect a pragmatic approach by the company to consolidate around its core telecommunications tower business, which remains highly profitable amid Europe’s accelerating 5G rollout.
