Cyberattack in Europe: Airports in London, Brussels, and Berlin Halted Flights.
Cyberattack on European Airports
According to inkorr.com: On Saturday, September 20, hackers carried out an attack on a company that provides automated systems for passenger check-in and boarding at airports. This incident significantly affected the operations of airports in London, Brussels, and Berlin.
'The cyberattack aimed at the service provider of registration and boarding systems led to disruptions at several major European airports, including London Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin, causing delays and cancellations.'
At Berlin Airport, due to the shutdown of automated systems, passengers had to check in and board manually. Fortunately, Frankfurt Airport remained unharmed by this attack.
Passengers are advised to check the status of their flights with airlines before heading to the airport. Although the situation is gradually improving, there are risks of new problems that could cause further delays and cancellations.
Brussels Airport also faced serious system failures that forced manual check-in, and it recommends passengers to arrive early. All these difficulties arose due to the incident with the service provider in Europe.
Thus, the cyberattack on the company supplying automated systems for European airports caused numerous delays and cancellations in London, Brussels, and Berlin. Passengers should be prepared for potential difficulties and check the status of their flights before heading to the airport.
This situation with the cyberattack highlights the importance of cybersecurity in today’s world, especially in critical areas such as aviation. Strengthening the protection of information systems can help avoid similar incidents in the future and ensure the safety of millions of passengers.
