"The cascading crisis began on Friday night when Collins Aerospace - which provides the check-in and boarding software used by airports in London, Brussels and Berlin - was targeted by a suspected cyber attack, resulting in delays to flights. However, Dublin Airport operator, the Daa, issued an update today which confirmed that some airlines in Terminal 2 are having to resort to "manual workarounds" in issuing bag tags and boarding passes."
"The online hack, combined with Saturday's bomb scare that prompted an evacuation of Terminal 2, caused severe issues over the weekend. In an unrelated incident, an estimated 12,000 people were evacuated from Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 for about 90 minutes on Saturday afternoon after a suspicious device was found in the luggage of a passenger in Terminal 2, triggering the highest level of security response. The evacuation began at 11.40am, with thousands of people were shepherded to set-down"
An online hack targeted Collins Aerospace's check-in and boarding software late Friday, affecting airports in London, Brussels and Berlin and causing flight delays. Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport experienced cancellations and operational disruption with at least 13 flights cancelled and some airlines resorting to manual workarounds for bag tags and boarding passes. Dublin Airport operator Daa advised passengers to arrive two hours before short-haul flights and three hours before long-haul flights, with extra time recommended for checked bags in Terminal 2. Experts have been flown in to rebuild servers and resolve issues. Separately, about 12,000 people were evacuated from Terminal 2 for 90 minutes after a suspicious device was found.
