KrasAvia Hit by System Failure, Potential Cyberattack Feared
Russian regional airline KrasAvia faced a system failure today, with its website, online ticket sales, and digital check-ins disrupted. The incident bore similarities to a July outage at Aeroflot, Russia's flagship carrier.
A regional Telegram channel, Borus, shared a screenshot of a defaced KrasAvia webpage, hinting at a potential Russia news cyberattack. Experts suggest this could be part of a broader campaign targeting Russian regional aviation companies, aiming to disrupt operations or steal sensitive data. This follows a claim by Ukraine's military intelligence agency, HUR, that it hacked Russia's civil aviation authority and a state-owned aircraft manufacturer earlier this year. Cyberattacks on Russia's aviation sector have indeed increased since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Despite the digital disruptions, KrasAvia flights continued to operate as scheduled.
KrasAvia's system failure today raises concerns about potential cyberattacks targeting Russian regional aviation. While flights remained unaffected, the incident highlights the increasing threat to the sector's digital infrastructure.
