Copenhagen and Oslo, a hack killing major airports in Europe has been examining weak locations of the region’s aviation infrastructure and raising concerns about harmony attacks, which has led to disruption.
In Denmark, drones stopped flights to Copenhagen’s main airport on Monday, Danish’s Prime Minister Matt Frederickson linked the incident to a series of Russian drone engagement and other barriers throughout Europe.
It came along with a separate drone incident in the Norwegian capital Oslo, and the hackers targeted the check -in system with London’s Heathrows, Europe’s busiest, as well as a Ranasmare attack on airports in Berlin and Brussels.

Investigators have not yet determined who was behind the obstacle, but experts see them as part of the recent “hybrid threat” incidents in the region to check how countries handle their major infrastructure.
“First, it is to test how the procedure works. In this case, it causes shutting down airports,” said Joka Seynnan, the European Center of Excellence’s network director to deal with hybrid risks. “The second testing point is our reaction.”
Russian Ambassador to Denmark Vladimir Barbon said in a statement sent to Reuters that the allegations of involvement of the Russians have been abolished. Reuters could not freely confirm who was interrupted in the drone or who was behind the hack over the weekend.
Attacks show weakness of sectors such as aviation
Although the civil aviation sector operations can be weakened, with the lack of supply chain in airports and airline works, hundreds of delayed and canceled flights are delayed.
Since the risks of the so -called “hybrid war”, including drones, GPS interference and hex, increase the risks, experts say aviation regulators need to take more active steps to reduce cyberself, navigation system and overall safety risks.
“This attack shows how weak the most connected industries like aviation can be weakened,” said Bart Siles in the US CyberScript firm F5.
Reuters of analysts and experts have identified the increase in activity by potential Russian actors across Europe in recent weeks, a movement to present regulators to present clear guidelines and encourage further action to defend significant infrastructure.
“(Drone activity) is deteriorating and in my opinion, Eric Schutten, director of the Security Intelligence and Aviation Advisory Firm Diami, said.
“Airlines are looking at governments and officials, airports too.”
Moscow has permanently denied responsibility for any hybrid attack in Europe.
European air traffic control body Eurocanol said it was providing local air traffic control and support to national authorities to handle the effects of such incidents.
“Operators need to bring dynamically threat to evaluate their actions,” said Matthew Bori, an intelligence officer at Aviation Security, said Matthew Bori, an intelligence officer at the Ostepre, told Reuters.
Regulators need to tighten quality
The cost and burden of upgrading infrastructure can prevent the airports from reacting rapidly, even security concerns in civil airspace can gain importance with Russia’s 2022 Ukraine’s full -scale attack on Ukraine with a war on the eastern edge of Europe.
To upgrade technology to airports, such as hacks and drones, gymping tools, lasers and trackers can cost millions of dollars and this can be a burdensome process – one is that not all infrastructure operators are primarily ready to operate.
The airline trade body IATA also said that anti -drone technology is still developing and is often out of the airport budget. In the United States, the FAA says it receives more than 100 reports of drone viewing near the airports every month.
Jack Moore, a adviser to the Slovakian CyberScutory firm ESET, said that when the chains of aviation supply were attacked, it created a global obstruction.
“Regulators need to tighten more standards for critical aviation IT suppliers,” he said.
“Whether it was a deliberate barrier attack, financially motivated ransom or a major technical failure, its effects show how fragile such systems could be in the digital focus.”
