Clever those Ukrainians:
“The aftermath of a cyber attack on Russia’s largest passenger airline Aeroflot. What’s happening now:
Aeroflot’s operations have been brought to a standstill following a large-scale cyberattack that hit during the night of July 28. The airline’s internal IT infrastructure has been effectively destroyed. Most systems remain non-functional.
Computers are down both at airports and in Aeroflot offices. Flight planning is impossible. Aircraft cannot be refueled. The basic coordination between crew members has broken down
— flight teams are unable to locate one another, and no one knows which planes are supposed to fly, where, or with whom. Video https://x.com/bayraktar_1love/status/1949778727635726427
Only a few flights with pre-calculated logistics are managing to take off. Other crews arrive in complete uncertainty, receiving no instructions. Many are being sent home. Others remain stuck on board, waiting for updates that never come.
The airline’s headquarters in Melkisarovo has had its electricity shut off — a likely attempt to prevent further access to compromised systems. Staff have been ordered not to use corporate email or internal devices.
