However, in BA's case, the malicious script was actually hosted on their own site, not on a 3rd party site.

That said, I think we will continue to see many more similar hacks, and since many airlines include script from 10-20 different third party hosts in their payment pages, I think we can expect more data leaks facilitated by 3rd party trackers/chatbots/etc.
