Heathrow, Berlin, Brussels hit by RTX Collins MUSE outage

Major European airports worked to restore normal operations Sunday after cybercriminals attacked Collins Aerospace check-in systems the previous day. The hackers targeted RTX-owned Collins Aerospace, which provides automated check-in and boarding services to airlines across Europe. Heathrow Airport, Berlin Brandenburg Airport, and Brussels Airport experienced significant disruptions with passengers facing lengthy queues and flight cancellations. Brussels Airport canceled 45 departing flights from 257 scheduled services while reporting delays between 30 and 90 minutes for remaining operations. This cyberattack represents another incident in a recent wave of digital breaches affecting various industries from automotive manufacturing to retail sectors.
