Does Sabre just got hit with ransomeware attack? Why nobody is talking about it in public space? Was it noticed inside the company? I am out for couple of months now and just got to know about this attack.

In the southlake call center on the first floor, employees were known to write down info from cards used to book hotels. If you had a cousin in Harlem, it was profitable, was the rumor
For sure it looks like they play d-mb. Shouldn't a publically traded company reveal right away such data security event right away? Of course they say they did not find and data breach, but the fact is that one of their employee's passport image - and other 1.3TB of yet unpublished data - all over the dark web. So the fact they have the passport data proves that this hacking group HAD TO breach Sabre's data and it does not matter whether Sabre denies it.
I am kind of shocked by the fact that Sabre is doing nothing and it is also my passport and other personal information that will soon probably be published.
Do you have any idea where it could be sent - I mean this case - for it to get more traction? Even internally at Sabre but I would rather meant some outside watchdog?
Here is other large - but not so much strategically important - company hacked by the same randomware group:

https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/food-distributor-sysco-suffers-data-breach-leaking-customer-and-employee-personal-information/
So they look quite serious. And this:
"Sysco has begun notifying the impacted individuals and offered 24 months of free credit monitoring services with Experian to protect them from identity theft."
IMHO Sabre is playing d-mb here because the consequences - and I mean here not the minor one for its employees like identity theft but rather the travel business players - could be huge.
BTW here is Sabre's response:

So basically the same credit card info that call center employees were already stealing
It's all fake news, company still standing. Depending on how you look at it. If with one of the big tech, that would be news.
Google "sabre ransomware techcrunch" for a detailed TC article about it.
FYI from another thread that this issue was raised. @bzgk+1oTO7r8v
apparently the 1.3T worth of data stolen from sabre includes employee details like passport numbers and insurance numbers. sabre should be offering us compensation and identity theft protection
maybe, although sabre denies it. a ransomware gang claimed that they stole 1.3 terabytes of data from sabre and as proof, shared screenshots of booking data and employee information
