Overview
- The National Crime Agency detained a man in his 40s in West Sussex on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offenses and released him on conditional bail as the investigation remains at an early stage.
- ENISA confirmed a ransomware attack on Collins Aerospace’s MUSE platform that disrupted electronic check-in and baggage-drop services at major airports including Heathrow, Brussels and Berlin.
- Collins Aerospace and parent RTX say they are deploying updates to restore functionality, with Heathrow reporting mostly normal operations and Brussels and Berlin still facing delays.
- Berlin’s airport says check-in and boarding remain largely manual and warned disruptions could persist for several days while functional and secure software is restored.
- The outages caused widespread delays and cancellations—over 100 flights affected by Monday—while Dublin and Cork reported limited impact and aviation safety and air traffic control were unaffected.
