Earlier, the airline in a statement today confirmed that its website has been hacked and that the system is expected to be fully recovered within 22 hours.

“Malaysia Airlines confirms that its Domain Name System (DNS) has been compromised where users are re-directed to a hacker website when www.malaysiaairlines.com URL is keyed in,” the statement read.

MAS said the matter was also reported to CyberSecurity Malaysia and the Ministry of Transport.
