BREAKING NEWS: Man Arrested in Connection with Airport Cyber-Attack Crackdown
A man in his forties has been arrested by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in West Sussex on Tuesday evening, as part of an investigation into a cyber incident impacting Collins Aerospace. The arrest comes after days of disruption at several European airports, including Heathrow.
The cyber-attack has caused hundreds of flight delays, with some airlines forced to use pen and paper for check-in and baggage handling due to the failure of Collins Aerospace's software. The US company is reportedly rebuilding its system to restore services.
Collins Aerospace provides critical software used by multiple airlines, including those at Heathrow. An internal memo obtained by the BBC highlights the difficulties in bringing the system back online.
The arrested man has been released on bail on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences. The NCA's national cyber crime unit is leading the investigation, which remains ongoing.
