The attack disabled automatic passenger check-in and baggage drop systems, resulting in significant delays and cancellations-Brussels Airport had about 60 flights canceled. The affected platform,called muse,is developed by Collins Aerospace and is used by multiple airlines to share check-in desks and boarding gates. European cybersecurity agency ENISA confirmed the ransomware type involved has been identified, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">law enforcement agencies<\/a> are investigating the incident. While manual check-in procedures have mitigated some impacts, the breach comes amid a rise in cyberattacks across various industries. The investigation into the attack was ongoing as of Monday following the weekend disruptions. <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 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>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cyberattack-causes-chaos-and-disruptions-in-numerous-european-airports\/\" title=\"Cyber... causes chaos and ... in numerous ...\">attack disabled automatic check-<\/a>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;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;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3817775\/energy-focal-point-new-jersey-gubernatorial-debate\/\">Energy policy emerges as focal point in New Jersey gubernatorial debate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3817835\/dozens-arrested-hurt-clashes-police-philippine-presidential-palace\/\">Dozens arrested and hurt in clashes with police near Philippine presidential palace<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3805459\/supreme-court-poised-shake-up-midterm-elections\/\">Supreme Court poised to shake up midterms<\/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.
