Malaysia Airlines warns passengers of fake websites

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines has advised customers to be cautious of social media posts and phishing websites that appear similar to its official website ( malaysia airlines. com).

In a statement, the national airline said these fake websites would lure customers by offering free air tickets as prizes, before proceeding to request personal data.

“The airline would like to advise customers to exercise caution when revealing personal data to unverified sources. These websites, emails and calls should be verified on the airline’s official social media sites if in doubt,” it added.
