Pro-Ukrainian hackers take credit for attack that snarls Russian flight travel
Pro-Ukrainian hackers have claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that led to the cancellation of dozens of flights by Russia's largest airline, Aeroflot. The airline cited a "technical failure" as the reason for the cancellations, which affected both domestic and international routes. Russian prosecutors have confirmed that the disruption was due to a hack and have initiated a criminal investigation. Lawmakers in Russia have suggested that the cyberattack may have been orchestrated by hacktivists with support from hostile nations.
