Cyberattack Disrupts Airports: Brussels Cancels Half of Departure Flights
Airport operations are disrupted for the third day due to a cyberattack. Brussels Airport is canceling half of its departure flights scheduled for Tuesday.
A spokesperson for the airport stated that Collins Aerospace, the provider of the passenger registration and control system, has not yet delivered a secure, updated version of the software. This is necessary to fully restore the airport's operations following the cyberattack.
Analysts note that the attack has highlighted the vulnerabilities of the international aviation industry to digital threats. While there are unconfirmed claims about the involvement of hackers linked to Moscow, experts argue that most attacks originate from criminal groups seeking financial gain.
Collins Aerospace has not made any public comment regarding the nature or origin of the attack. Investigations are ongoing.
