Major airports affected included those in London, Berlin, and Brussels. The attack coincided with high traveler volume, such as the Berlin marathon, exacerbating delays. Brussels Airport reportedly canceled around 60 flights and resorted to manual check-in processes using iPads and laptops. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident. This attack is part of a broader increase in cyberattacks in Europe, with recent notable incidents involving other organizations like Jaguar. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Cyberattack causes chaos and disruptions in numerous European airports<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2235203\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A third-party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/national-security\/915579\/ransomware-attack-compromises-entire-organization-within-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ransomware attack<\/a> caused disruptions over the weekend at airports throughout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, revealed the attack and reported that the type of ransomware behind the offense &ldquo;has been identified.&rdquo; The attack disabled automatic check-in systems for passengers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-vows-revenge-against-israel-after-nuclear-plant-targeted\/\" title=\"Iran Vows Revenge Against Israel After Nuclear Plant Targeted\">causing significant delays<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3817555\/trump-returns-to-un-stronger-position-greater-challenges\/\">Trump returns to UN in stronger position but with greater challenges<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3817688\/john-james-governor-house-gop-leadership-frustrated-stings\/\">John James&#8217;s run for Michigan governor frustrates House GOP leadership: &lsquo;It stings&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3815926\/ryan-routh-begin-trial-attempted-trump-assassination\/\">Ryan Routh to begin his case in trial over attempted Trump assassination<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">EU cybersecurity agency ENISA says airport disruptions caused by third-party ransomware incident<\/p>\n<p>For more on this and other news visit <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NEDMP2uP6W\">https:\/\/t.co\/NEDMP2uP6W<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sky News Breaking (@SkyNewsBreak) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkyNewsBreak\/status\/1970026691146776791?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>&ldquo;The type of ransomware has been identified.
