EU cyber agency confirms ransomware attack causing airport disruptions
A cyberattack targeting Collins Aerospace, a provider of airport check-in systems, sparked delays and disrupted flights across Europe over the weekend.

The ransomware attack targeted Collins Aerospace, a company that provides among other things check-in systems to several airports, including Berlin, Brussels, and London’s Heathrow.
