SpiceJet, the Indian budget airline, was recently hit by a ransomware attack that impacted flight operations.
In addition to flight delays, some customers reported that online systems — such as check-in — were not working. SpiceJet had previously suffered a data breach two years ago, when an unencrypted backup of a database with 1.2 million customer records was left exposed on the internet.
SpiceJet is India's second-largest airline by number of domestic passengers carried. The company has more than 14,000 employees and a fleet of 102 aircraft serving 60+ destinations.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud detects and blocks both existing and new ransomware with its included Active Protection, stopping even never-before-seen threats based on the malicious behaviors they exhibit.
