Cybercriminal Group Targets US Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines Hit by Cyberattack

A notorious hacking group known as Scattered Spider has shifted its focus to the aviation sector, targeting multiple US airlines, including Hawaiian Airlines. The FBI and cybersecurity firms have issued warnings about this expanding threat, particularly highlighting a recent cybersecurity event at Hawaiian Airlines that affected some of its IT systems. While the airline confirmed that flights continue to operate normally, reports suggest that the cyberattack caused a significant IT outage. This incident is part of a broader trend, with several airlines experiencing similar cyber threats from the same hacker group, which previously focused on retailers and insurance firms. The aviation industry is on high alert as the FBI continues to monitor these developments.
