Etihad application leaking sensitive data

I am travelling with Etihad Airways in about 2 months. I downloaded their app for Android and entered my booking flight reference. Right after doing so I was able to see the details of another passenger who is travelling tomorrow! Including his name, phone number and even his passport details! I immediately contacted that passenger and let him know of the leak. I also called the airline and filed a report. Couple of minutes later another boarding pass for another passenger appeared in my app!
I am so concerned now. The application obviously leaking customers information randomly and my own information could end up in the wrong hands.

Would update my post upon hearing back from them. Hopefully they get that fixed soon

That is very shocking and a failure with IT on EY's part. Thanks for informing, and I hope they get that fixed soon!

Maybe the cost cutting is affecting their IT department as well, probably got rid of security team
