A cyberattack on Friday night disrupted check-in and boarding systems at major European airports including Brussels, Berlin's Brandenburg, and London's Heathrow on Saturday. The attack targeted Collins Aerospace's MUSE software, forcing airports to resort to manual check-in processes. Brussels Airport saw nine flight cancellations and 15 delays of over an hour, though the overall impact remained limited. Passengers faced longer waits as staff had to write baggage tags by hand at understaffed counters. Experts called the attack "very clever" since it hit multiple airports simultaneously through a single system provider. The aviation industry's reliance on shared digital platforms makes it an attractive target for cybercriminals, with the attack's motive still unclear. **Source:** [Security Week](https://www.securityweek.com/cyberattack-disrupts-check-in-systems-at-major-european-airports/)
