In the wake of a significant cyberattack, Russian national carrier Aeroflot is confronting a potentially year-long recovery process. Over 100 flights were disrupted, leading to additional resources being deployed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
The attack, claimed by hacker groups 'Kiberpartizani BY' and 'Silent Crow', caused severe damage, compounding the challenges Aeroflot faces. Experts note recovery times for such large-scale attacks can vary widely.
With the Russian Office of the Prosecutor General overseeing the criminal investigation, Aeroflot, a vital state entity, risks not only financial and operational setbacks but also regulatory repercussions. Meanwhile, the airline has regained partial system control, managing some flight operations.
