Russia's national airline, Aeroflot, was forced to cancel dozens of flights and delay many more after a massive cyberattack claimed by pro-Ukrainian hacker groups, including Silent Crow and Belarusian Cyber Partisans. The hackers allege they destroyed Aeroflot's internal IT infrastructure, wiping out thousands of servers and leaking sensitive data. The attack reportedly exploited weak cybersecurity practices, including outdated passwords. The Kremlin has called the situation 'worrying,' and Russian prosecutors have confirmed the disruption was due to hacking, launching a criminal investigation. The incident left travelers stranded and highlights the growing cyber warfare dimension of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
