Europe’s Air-Traffic Agency Under Attack From Pro-Russian Hackers
Europe’s air-traffic control agency said yesterday that it was under attack from pro-Russian hackers amid fears that Moscow could interfere with the region’s critical infrastructure as its confrontation with the West escalates. The cyberattack on the agency’s website started on Apr. 19, a spokeswoman for the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, also known as Eurocontrol, said, adding that it wasn’t affecting the agency’s air-traffic control activities. “Since Apr. 19, the Eurocontrol website has been under attack by pro-Russian hackers. The attack is causing interruptions to the website and web availability,” the spokeswoman said. “There has been no impact on European aviation.”
