No source could be located for the 2020 breach (resurfacing in 2022) attributed to LATAM in an earlier draft, so it is not asserted here. LATAM did, however, notify a limited portion of LATAM Pass loyalty members in August 2026 of a security incident exposing names, contact details, dates of birth, loyalty account data and partial card numbers (per Brazilian press reports). Stolen data does not have a shelf life. It gets re-listed, re-sold and re-published years after the original incident, long after any credit monitoring the airline offered has lapsed and long after the news cycle moved on. For passport numbers and dates of birth - identifiers that cannot be reissued the way a card can - the exposure is effectively permanent, and the twelve or twenty-four months of monitoring typically offered after a breach is calibrated to the company's news cycle rather than to the durability of the harm.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass; Brazil's LGPD and Chile's data protection law apply depending on jurisdiction (LATAM is a merged Chilean/Brazilian carrier group).
Data sharing
UNVERIFIED — REMOVED: an earlier draft described a 2020 LATAM breach exposing 5.4 million passengers' data that resurfaced on hacker forums in 2022; no source for that incident could be located, so no LATAM-specific breach is asserted here pending a primary source (company notice or regulator record). SEPARATE, CONFIRMED 2026 INCIDENT: LATAM confirmed to customers by email that a July 29, 2026 security incident exposed data of a 'limited portion' of LATAM Pass loyalty members - name, date of birth, address, phone, email, miles balance and partial card details (first digits, brand, cardholder name, expiry; no security codes or passwords); LATAM notified Brazil's data-protection authority (ANPD) (Canaltech, Aug. 20, 2026).
