**Belarusian Group Collaborates in Disruption of Major Russian Airline Operations**


**Silent Crow claims deep penetration into Aeroflot's IT systems, causing extensive flight cancellations and delays amid ongoing cyber warfare.**

The Russian airline Aeroflot has reported significant disruption to its operations after a cyber-attack allegedly carried out by the pro-Ukrainian hacking group Silent Crow, which claimed to coordinate with the Belarusian team Cyberpartisans. The hackers asserted via Telegram that they executed a "large-scale operation" that rendered Aeroflot's IT systems inoperative.

As a result of the attack, Aeroflot canceled over 40 flights, primarily internal routes within Russia but also affecting flights to Belarus and Armenia. Despite the airlines' claims of flight restoration, authorities expressed concern about the attack's implications—both operationally and in the context of ongoing tensions. A communications failure led to substantial delays, raising alarm among passengers and the Russian government.

Silent Crow vowed to release the personal data of all individuals who had previously flown with Aeroflot, stating, "Glory to Ukraine! Long live Belarus!" Meanwhile, Cyberpartisans set emphasis on their role in supporting Ukrainian efforts against Russian invasion, describing their hacking missions as essential to their cause.

Russian officials, including lawmakers, acknowledged the seriousness of the cyber struggle, urging vigilance on all fronts, digital included. Although the effectiveness and lasting impact of such operations remain debatable—especially concerning claims made by hacking groups—the Russian prosecutor's office has indeed confirmed disruption attributed to hackers, prompting an official investigation into the attack.

The incident showcases the extent to which cyber warfare has escalated since the commencement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Concurrent disruptions have been noted in the form of drone strikes on Moscow's airports, further complicating travel for civilians. With tensions seemingly running high on both sides, the world watches closely as these digital battlegrounds evolve.
