‘Operating normally??’: SpiceJet passenger amid delays over ‘ransomware attack’
SpiceJet systems faced an attempted ransomware attack on Tuesday night, the airline said this morning, adding early departures had been impacted. The situation has since been rectified and flights are operating normally, the airline said. “Important Update: Certain SpiceJet systems faced an attempted ransomware attack last night that impacted and slowed down morning flight departures today. Our IT team has contained and rectified the situation and flights are operating normally now.”
A video has emerged on Twitter from a user identified as Mudit Shejwar – from inside a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Dharamshala.
“On board flight SG2345 to Dharmshala, it’s been already 80 mins since we boarded the plane we have not taken off yet… the only communication is of some server down and issue with paper work for fuel, is this for real…” the irate traveller wrote at 7.28 am.
