“Russia’s national airline, Aeroflot, said it had cancelled dozens of flights after pro-Ukrainian hackers claimed an attack on the carrier’s IT systems. A statement from hacking group Silent Crow said it carried out the attack with the help of a Belarusian group Cyberpartisans. Silent Crow said on Telegram that its “prolonged and large-scale operation… completely destroyed” Aeroflot’s IT systems. Aeroflot said it had cancelled more than 40 flights – mostly within Russia but also including routes to Belarus and Armenia – which the Kremlin said was ‘worrying’. The airline said an issue with its information system had also led to widespread delays. Silent Crow also threatened to release ‘the personal data of all Russians who have ever flown Aeroflot’.” (07/28/25)
