Russia's largest airline, Aeroflot, suffered a devastating cyberattack claimed by pro-Ukrainian and Belarusian hacker groups, leading to the cancellation of over 100 flights and widespread chaos at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. The attack reportedly destroyed Aeroflot's internal IT infrastructure, erasing databases and exposing poor cybersecurity practices, such as outdated passwords. The disruption stranded thousands of passengers, impacted both domestic and international routes, and is estimated to have cost the airline millions of dollars in a single day. Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation, while the Kremlin called the situation 'worrying.' This incident highlights the growing threat of cyberwarfare targeting critical infrastructure amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
