The attack targeted a subdomain of GlobalX’s website, defacing it with a message accusing the airline of ignoring court orders related to its deportation operations. The message, verified by TechCrunch and 404 Media, read: “Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge’s order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans.”
Anonymous, known for politically motivated cyberattacks, said it also stole sensitive information during the breach. This included flight manifests, passenger lists, and operational details related to deportation flights conducted between January 19 and May 1, 2025.
According to reports, the leaked data contains names of deportees, flight dates, and destinations. One record showed Venezuelan nationals being deported to El Salvador. Journalists, including those at 404 Media, confirmed the authenticity of the leaked documents.
GlobalX has been a key carrier for ICE deportation flights under the Trump administration, particularly for transporting Venezuelan migrants. A recent judicial ruling had ordered a halt to some of these deportation flights. Anonymous claims the airline violated this order, prompting their cyberattack as a form of protest.
Though the defaced webpage was restored shortly after the incident, the breach raises serious concerns. The exposure of personal information poses risks to deportees and could lead to legal and privacy issues for the airline.
Anonymous has a history of targeting government bodies and corporations it considers unethical. The group has recently voiced strong criticism of the Trump administration and has claimed involvement in other cyberattacks, including a 10-terabyte data leak from Russian networks.
As of now, GlobalX has not issued a public statement regarding the incident.
