RTX-owned Collins Aerospace is continuing to work with airports to get operations back to normal following a suspected cyber attack on Friday.<\/p>\n
The incident, widely reported to be a ransomware attack, prevented customers from using automatic check-in at a number of Europe airports, including Heathrow, Berlin, Dublin and Brussels.<\/p>\n
The BBC reported that ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, had confirmed that the type of ransomware had been identified and law enforcement agencies were investigating.<\/p>\n
On Friday and over the weekend, airline staff at airports were forced to use manual or back-up systems to check customers in. Travellers were advised not to arrive at airports any earlier than would normally do for their flights.<\/p>\n
By this morning (Monday September 22), there were ongoing delays at Berlin Brandenburg which was experiencing high demand due to the Berlin Marathon. Other airports impacted were getting back to normal.<\/p>\n
A statement from the UK\u2019s National Cyber Securitgy Centre spokesperson, said: \u201cWe are working with Collins Aerospace and affected UK airports, alongside Department for Transport and law enforcement colleagues, to fully understand the impact of an incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll organisations are urged to make use of the NCSC\u2019s free guidance, services and tools to help reduce the chances of a cyber attack and bolster their resilience in the face of online threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was reported that the checking-in software system attacked was Muse. On Monday Collins confirmed that it was in the final stages of completing updates to the system following the cyber attack.<\/p>\n
