Russian media report a massive cyberattack on Aeroflot, the country’s largest airline. The version about a hack has now been officially confirmed — Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office stated that the disruption was caused by a cyberattack. Hacker groups Silent Crow and the Belarusian Cyber Partisans have claimed responsibility, saying they spent a year planning the operation. Around 7,000 servers were destroyed, and 20 terabytes of data were stolen, effectively crippling Aeroflot’s IT systems. As a result, Aeroflot is currently unable to issue refunds for canceled flights. The refund system will only become available once the airline restores its internal services. Aeroflot has also asked passengers on canceled flights not to come to the airports, to avoid making the already difficult situation worse.
