Hacker Attack on Aeroflot: Group Claims Full Takeover of IT Systems
On July 28, Aeroflot reported a major failure in its information systems, leading to the cancellation of 49 flights. The airline warned of further schedule disruptions and urged passengers to monitor updates.
The hacker group Silent Crow, in collaboration with Cyber Partisans BY, has claimed responsibility — stating they infiltrated Aeroflot’s corporate network for over a year, gradually expanding access until they reached Tier 0 — the core of the airline’s IT infrastructure.
Their claims include the extraction of the entire flight history database, a full compromise of critical corporate systems, and remote control over employee and executive-level workstations. The hackers describe the operation as deliberate and methodical. They say they will begin releasing part of the stolen data soon.
The scale and depth of this breach — if confirmed — marks one of the most extensive cyber intrusions into Russian aviation infrastructure to date.
