The large-scale hacking of the IT systems of Russian "Aeroflot", which destroyed thousands of servers of the largest Russian airline, became possible partly because the company's employees did not comply with security rules. Belarusian hackers told DW about this in a comment, UNN reports.
Details

The attack was complex due to the particularly large scale of the network. About 8 thousand computers (PCs and servers), up to one hundred different systems
At the same time, they clarified that the hack became possible due to employees neglecting security rules - for example, Aeroflot's CEO Sergey Aleksandrovsky had not changed his password since 2022.
"Windows XP and 2003 are used in the network, which led to the compromise of their entire infrastructure," the hackers added.
Recall
Earlier, hacker groups Silent Crow and "Belarusian Cyberpartisans" attacked the servers of the Russian airline "Aeroflot", as a result of which they copied and destroyed their databases, including the personal data of all passengers.
Addition
