Last week, 404 Media reported that GlobalX was attacked by hacktivists Anonymous, who defaced the companys homepage and allegedly stole sensitive data. They left a message on the homepage, saying they decided to enforce the Judges order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans.

They were referring to multiple court rulings which confirmed that some of those on the flights should not have been deported to El Salvador, and which ordered the Trump administration to bring those people back.

As for the stolen files, the media reported that Anonymous apparently grabbed flight records and passenger manifests for all customers, illegal immigrants included. This was not confirmed, though.

The group shared the information with some members of the media on their own initiative, 404 Media added, also saying that the info could be used to provide granular insight into who exactly has been deported on GlobalX flights, when, and to where.
