Introduction The Iberia airline breach frequent flyer data incident is a textbook example of how “just a loyalty number” can turn into a serious privacy and security risk. In late November 2025, Spanish flag carrier Iberia began warning customers that a third-party supplier had been breached, exposing names, email addresses and Iberia Club loyalty IDs.

You’ve probably heard some version of this line recently: “ARM is taking over everything.” It’s not just hype. In a few short years, ARM chips have gone from “the thing in your phone” to powering Apple’s laptops, cloud data centres, Windows machines, routers, cars, IoT boxes, and AI rigs. This isn’t a slow trend; it’s a land-grab. ARM is taking over everything because modern computing has quietly changed its rules: efficiency, custom silicon and scale now matter more than raw clock speed. Let’s unpack what’s really going on.
