Chaos Ensues as Europe's Skies Face Third Day of Cyber-Attack Aftermath
European airports, most notably Dublin Airport, have been experiencing a third consecutive day of significant disruption following a widespread cyber-attack that targeted crucial check-in and baggage systems. The incident, identified as a Europe-wide technical issue, has led to extended delays and manual processing for passengers, particularly affecting Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport.
The root cause of the disruption has been traced to a cyber-attack utilizing ransomware, which has scrambled automatic check-in systems across various airports. The affected software, known as Muse, is provided by Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of the US aerospace and defense company RTX. Muse software is designed to allow multiple airlines to share the same check-in desks and boarding gates, making its compromise particularly impactful for airport operations.
