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 affected software, known as Muse, is provided by Collins Aerospace, a subsidiary of the US aerospace and defense company RTX.
