A ransomware attack was confirmed by ENISA, Europe’s cybersecurity agency, as the source of the weekend’s airport disruption. While no one crew has claimed responsibility for the attack that disrupted a number of European airports, including in Brussels, Berlin, London, Dublin and Cork this weekend, Europe’s cybersecurity agency (ENISA) confirmed to the BBC that a ransomware attack was behind the chaos. In July, after UK retailers were hit hard with Scattered Spider attacks, the FBI and cyber experts warned that airlines were likely to be next in line. Hackers using Scattered Spider tactics are renowned for targeting one sector at a time, although there is no indication as yet that they were behind this attack. “The FBI has recently observed the cybercriminal group Scattered Spider expanding its targeting to include the airline sector,” the US agency said back in July.
