A man has been arrested regarding electronic attack on airports

A person has been arrested regarding the electronic attack that caused days of turmoil in many European airports, including Heathrow.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said that a man of his forties had been arrested in West Sussex “as part of an investigation into an electronic accident affecting the Collins space.”

There were hundreds of delay in flying after the failure of the Collins Aerospace luggage and the check programs used by many airlines, with some passengers using the pen and paper.

“Although this arrest is a positive step, the investigation of this incident is in its early stages and is still going on,” said Paul Foster, head of the National Crime Unit at NCA.

The man was arrested on Tuesday evening on suspicion of committing the crimes of the computer abuse law and was released on bail.

The BBC has witnessed an internal note sent to the airport employees in Heathrow about the provider of difficulties, Collins Air, recalling the internet access program via the Internet.

The American company seems to rebuild the system again after trying to re -launch it on Monday.

RTX, RTX, told BBC that it estimates “continuous continuous assistance in this matter.”

The American company has not set a time line when it was ready and urges land treatments and airlines to plan for at least another week of using manual solutions.

In Heathrow, additional employees were deployed at the stations to help passengers and check -in operators, but flights are still suffering from delay.

On Monday, the CIA of the European Union said The ransom has been published In the attack.

Ransomware is often used to seriously disable victims systems and ransom is required in the encrypted currency to reflect the damage.

These types of attacks are a problem for organizations throughout the country, as organized electronic crime gangs gain hundreds of millions of ransom every year.

The attack was discovered against the American software maker Collins Aerospace on Friday night and resulted in the disruption of many European airports, including in Brussels, Dublin and Berlin.

The flights have been canceled and delayed throughout the weekend, as some airports still have delay effects this week.

“The vast majority of flights in Heathrow are working as usual, but we encourage passengers to verify their flight before traveling to the airport,” Heathrow Airport said in a statement on its website.

“The check -in and the rise to the rise remains largely,” Berlin Airport said on Wednesday morning, which will lead to “longer treatment times, delay, and cancellation by airlines.”

While Brussels Airport advised passengers to register online access before arriving at the airport.

Electronic attacks in the aviation sector increased by 600 % during the past year, according to a report issued by the French company Aerospace Thales.
