Collins Aerospace cyberattack

The Collins Aerospace cyberattack is an attack on vMUSE check-in and boarding software created by Collins Aerospace. The attack affects several European airports.

Airports are connected via a platform called vMUSE, which in turn uses a dedicated VPN called ARINC AviNet. ARINC was previously an independent company, but it operated as part of Collins from 2018 until the date of the incident. According to UpGuard, a cybersecurity company, the outage across airports indicates that AviNet was compromised.
