British Airways' air-miles accounts, the coding site GitHub and the work chat service Slack have all been hit in the latest wave of cyber-attacks.

Complaints about points being stolen from the BA's Executive Club scheme date back at least a fortnight.

Cyber-attacks hit British Airways, GitHub and Slack - BBC News

My immediate and not entirely rational reaction was to check my QF account. No missing miles. :)

No award to BA for dealing with this on a timely basis, it seems.

Hope noone on here has been affected...
