American Airlines reportedly sued Joomla, a web publisher, and CloudAccess, a web hosting platform, last weekend, and the case was filed at the Manhattan federal court. According to Reuters, the air carrier is legally going after the said companies for allegedly allowing a fake website to take user credentials for the American Airlines’ site without permission.
It was said that unknown groups have misused the airline’s copyrights and trademarks to make the public believe that americanairlines.joomla.com is the real website of American Airlines’ cargo services. Based on the report, the Fort Worth, Texas-headquartered air carrier informed Joomla and CloudAccess about this matter as early as December last year, but they never responded.
The non-response prompted the company to take legal action against them. In the complaint, American Airlines stated that Joomla, which is owned by Open Source Matter Inc., offers free software for creating and launching websites that are being hosted on CloudAccess' platform.
Joomla allegedly allowed one user to set up a fake American Airlines website without checking and verifying if the person is connected or affiliated with the company. The airline said that the web publisher would have immediately realized that the owner of the account does not have any connection with their company if it had only made an effort to check.
It was added that Joomla collects usernames, passwords, and email addresses from clients who think they are logging in to a site to track cargo shipments being serviced by American Airlines. The complaint stated that these personal data could either be sold off to hackers or used to access the clients’ American accounts and others.
American Airlines further said in the legal filing that the said fake website is still running. The complaint was forwarded to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and filed under American Airlines Inc v. Open Source Matters Inc. No. 1:21-cv-06681.
Meanwhile, American Airlines was said to have declined to comment further on the case against Open Source Matters, and its lawyer, Daniel Filor of Greenberg Traurig Law Firm, did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding the matter. Joomla and CloudAccess refused to comment as well.
