The FBI warns that the nefarious cybercriminal group Scattered Spider' is expanding its targeting to include the airline sector. Scattered Spider actors steal sensitive data for extortion and often deploy ransomware. Hawaiian Airlines and WestJet both confirmed they were recently victims of a cyberattack by unspecified assailants. The FBI said it is working with aviation partners to address the activity, but that it has not impacted airline safety so far. The Scattered Spider hacker group has previously been linked to cyberattacks across different company sectors, including an attack that shut down MGM Resorts' systems for over a week in 2023. Meanwhile tens of thousands of East Coast flyers face a travel horror show after the FAA implemented ground delays at LaGuardia and JFK airports, cancelling least 180 flights. The nightmare comes as travelers gear up for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
