AA and SWA pilot app data breach

[T/O w/FSII]

God, this is irritating. PilotCredentials' user experience is already really difficult with browser issues and less-than-responsive technical support. Last month, both the AA recruiting and SWA recruiting indicated that they were moving away from PC...but SWA hasn't yet, and from what I can tell casually, AA either mirrored PC under a new domain (if that's the right term, it may not be) or just decided to copy 99% of what PC was doing on their own.

There has been a lot of uncertainty about whether or not the current systems for either company were actually working, because there's a complete lack of confirmation from the systems when the application is complete.

SWA has been on their own for about 4 weeks now.

Always lie with the questions like “What is your mothers maiden name” “Mbasa!” because it takes 30 seconds trawling social media to find that.

About a decade ago I watched a kid "hack" into an account in a nanosecond using just that strategy. The victim is an actor, so a couple of clicks on wikipedia, IMDB and cached interviews: High school mascot, first kiss, mother's maiden name and access granted.
