Austrian private aviation company Avcon Jet has been listed as a victim by the Qilin ransomware group, with the claim appearing on ransomware monitoring sites on June 4-5, 2026. Public reporting indicates that customer and employee data may have been accessed during the incident, although the exact volume and types of records involved have not been disclosed.
Available reporting from Breachsense and Ransomware.live confirms that Qilin operators added Avcon Jet to their leak site after the company apparently did not meet the attackers’ demands. No samples of the allegedly stolen data have been published so far, and the company has not released an official statement detailing what information was held or what safeguards were in place. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that aviation-sector breaches frequently expose names, contact details, passport information, and payment records that travel with frequent flyers and their families.
