Stay Vigilant: FBI Issues Urgent Cyber Warning to Aviation Industry

The U.S. FBI issued a joint cybersecurity alert warning that the cybercriminal group Scattered Spider, also known as UNC3944 or Muddled Libra, has expanded from retail and insurance into the airline industry, using social engineering to compromise help desks and deploy ransomware. The advisory notes recent IT disruptions at Hawaiian Airlines and WestJet and urges airlines, vendors and service providers in the Maldives to strengthen identity verification, adopt phishing-resistant MFA and prepare incident response plans.
