Pro-Ukrainian hackers take credit for attack that snarls Russian flight travel

Pro-Ukrainian hackers have claimed responsibility for an attack that severely disrupted air travel in Russia. The incident resulted in the cancellation of dozens of flights by the state-owned airline Aeroflot, leaving travelers stranded across the country. The hackers, who have not been officially identified, targeted the airline's systems, causing widespread disruption. Aeroflot was forced to cancel numerous flights, including both domestic and international routes, due to the cyber attack. The attack highlights the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with pro-Ukrainian groups seeking to undermine Russia's infrastructure and operations. The incident has drawn attention to the vulnerability of critical systems to cyber threats, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict.
