Russia's largest airline, Aeroflot, suffered a massive cyberattack that led to the cancellation of over 100 flights, stranding travelers and causing chaos at major airports. The pro-Ukrainian hacker groups Silent Crow and Belarusian Cyber-Partisans claimed responsibility, stating they had destroyed Aeroflot's internal IT infrastructure after a year-long operation. The attack disrupted both domestic and international flights, including routes to Belarus, and exposed serious cybersecurity weaknesses within the airline. Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation, calling the situation 'worrying' and confirming the hack as the cause of the outage. This incident marks one of the most disruptive cyberattacks on Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine, highlighting escalating cyber warfare in the aviation sector.
