"Collins Aerospace is one of the largest suppliers in the aviation and defense industry. The company, which is part of RTX Corporation, supplies critical systems for both civil aviation and defense. Their portfolio includes avionics, communication and navigation systems, and mission systems for defense. The attack targets a component for civil aviation, namely Collins Aerospace's MUSE (Multi-User System Environment) software. This system is used for electronic check-in, baggage drop, boarding, and counter check-in at terminals."
"Brussels Airport has announced that the external software supplier "is not yet able to deliver a new secure version of the check-in system." The airport is trying to limit the impact as much as possible, but is experiencing the most disruption. This resulted in 25 canceled flights on Saturday and 50 on Sunday. The impact was greatest on Monday. The airport had requested that nearly 140 flights be canceled."
A cyberattack targeted Collins Aerospace's MUSE software, disrupting electronic check-in, baggage drop, boarding, and counter operations at multiple European airports since Friday. Collins Aerospace, part of RTX Corporation, supplies critical avionics, communication, navigation and mission systems for civil aviation and defense. Airports switched to manual check-in and boarding on vendor advice, producing long queues, significant delays, and numerous cancellations. Brussels Airport reported the supplier cannot yet deliver a secure software version and experienced the worst impact, requesting nearly 140 flight cancellations. Little is known about the attackers or demands, and passenger data theft remains unconfirmed.
