Ransomware Turbulence: Europe’s Airports Stuck in Cybersecurity Traffic Jam
Ransomware strikes, and Europe’s airports transform into chaotic hubs of manual check-ins! With Collins Aerospace at the heart of this digital drama, airports like Heathrow and Brussels navigate delays and cancellations. Meanwhile, passengers are urged to embrace online check-ins. Just another day in the life of high-flying cyber chaos!
