Russia's largest airline, "Aeroflot," has suffered significant losses as a result of a cyberattack — the company's entire IT infrastructure has been disabled, flights are being massively canceled, and thousands of passengers are stranded at airports.
The editorial office reports that a hacker group called Silent Crow has claimed responsibility for the attack. They stated that they had planned this operation for a year and, during this period, had accessed "Aeroflot"'s corporate network and extracted all data.
Currently, at least 50 flights have been canceled, and citizens have been deprived of the opportunity to return or start their journey. Long queues have formed at airports to change or refund tickets.
Russian officials have begun investigating the scale and impact of the attack. Experts state that this incident should be considered a serious signal in terms of the cyber resilience of the country's air transport system. The recovery time for the company's systems and the extent of the data leak have not yet been disclosed.
