Polish airline LOT grounded by ‘first attack of its kind’

Hackers are being blamed for an attack which grounded 1,400 passengers set to fly on Polish airline LOT.

The passengers were waiting to fly from Warsaw’s Frederic Chopin Airport when the attack occurred at around 4:00 pm (1500 GMT). The airline’s ground operations system was knocked offline by the targeted attack, which led to the cancellation of 10 flights departing from Warsaw, and the delay of about a dozen more, according to Reuters.
