Russian Airline Aeroflot Hit By Cyberattack, Grounding Flights

Within the last 24 hours, Aeroflot, Russia's flag carrier airline, was breached by Silent Crow and Cyberpartisans BY, who claim to have destroyed its IT systems after over a year inside, with no confirmed flight cancellation count.
Claiming credit, Silent Crow and Cyberpartisans BY said they carried out the attack, but Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office declined to assign blame.
Hackers claim they accessed 122 hypervisors, 43 ZVIRT installs, nearly 100 iLO interfaces, and four Proxmox clusters during the breach, with no confirmed data destruction by Aeroflot.
Flight cancellations and delays continue, with some flights operating without IT support as Russian prosecutors confirm over 60 cancellations and investigate, affecting Aeroflot.
Experts say this attack signals the potential for future cyber warfare against critical infrastructure, with Aeroflot’s scale heightening security concerns, as the breach underscores evolving threats to national security assets.
