Major airports across Europe<\/a> have been hit by a ransomware RTX cyberattack that disrupted operations and caused major travel delays. London Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg, and Brussels airports reported issues with passenger check-in systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity<\/a> experts revealed that the attack forced flight cancellations and widespread disruptions. The European Union’s cybersecurity agency ENISA confirmed the hack targeted Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of RTX. ENISA reported it was a ransomware attack but did not reveal the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outage affected check-in and baggage drop services since Friday. Dozens of flights were impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rafe Pilling, Director of Threat Intelligence at Sophos, reported that most ransomware activity remains focused on extortion through data encryption and theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ransomware is malicious software that locks data until a ransom is paid. Attackers usually avoid targets that could draw law enforcement attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Perry, CEO of Undetectable AI, revealed that hackers now use AI to launch faster and smarter operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
