The company uses outdated Windows XP and 2003, and the general company has not changed the password since 2022.
Belarusian cyberpartizans have been colleagues from the silent crow for months on Aeroflot’s corporate network before making a hack. In many ways, attacking has been possible due to the fact that company employees neglected safety policies. On Monday, July 28, the cyber engaged in a request from DW.
“Attacking is complicated due to a particularly large network size. About 8 thousand computers (PCs and server), under one hundred different systems,” the hackers said.
According to them, the task of neglecting employees’ security policies has facilitated them. For example, Aeroflot CEO Sergey Aleksandrovsky has not changed the password since 2022.
“The network uses Windows XP and 2003, which led to the compromise of their entire infrastructure,” hackers provide examples on their website.
Aeroflot’s Kiberator began on the night of July 28. Hactivists have confirmed that they gained control over employees’ computers, including management. “In the morning, we broke more than 7 thousand servers and workstations, databases and internal systems,” the hackers said.
They made it clear that “they made a lot of wiretapping and internal documents,” and promise to publish them later.
Cyberpatizans also pledged to continue attacking “agresses, while the Russian regime was a direct threat to the integrity of the territory and freedom of Belarus and Ukraine.”
As you know, serious air transport problems arise in Russia. Aeroflot announced the removal of more than 40 flights from Moscow due to “failure of information systems”. The responsibility for attacking was taken by two hackers – quiet crow and the cyber partisans.
Later, Aeroflot of the Russian Federation identified the disaster with flights due to hackers.
In Russia they estimated the recovery time after attacking the cyber in Aeroflot
