Due to an IT failure, Aeroflot could lose at least 250 million rubles in just one day, on July 28, due to the need to cancel flights to Sheremetyevo. Taking into account the costs of infrastructure restoration, the damage may be greater
What happened
On the morning of July 28, Aeroflot reported a malfunction in its IT systems, which led to the cancellation of several dozen turnaround flights from Sheremetyevo base airport in Moscow to Russian cities, Astana, Minsk, and Yerevan. The airline said it had completed 76 of 123 scheduled flights from midnight to noon. The postponements and cancellations affected both flights of the group's parent airline and subsidiary Rossiya Airlines.
Hacker groups Silent Crow and "Cyber Guerrillas BY" claimed involvement in the failures. The hackers claim that they had been on Aeroflot's corporate network for a year, downloaded a full array of flight history databases, and gained control of employees' computers. According to their version, 22 TB of information was siphoned off and 7 thousand servers were destroyed. Aeroflot did not comment on this information.
The Prosecutor General's Office confirmed the hacker attack and announced the opening of a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 272 of the Criminal Code (unlawful access to computer information).As of 20:00, the national carrier cancelled 54 round-trip flights out of 260 scheduled for July 28. The remaining 206 flights are planned to be completed. In particular, Monday's scheduled flights from Moscow to Minsk, Samara, Ufa, and Kazan were canceled. Flights to Ufa, Alma Ata, Chelyabinsk, Minsk, Novosibirsk, Yerevan, Yekaterinburg have been canceled for July 29.
