"SAS Airlines Breached by Pro-Russian Hackers – Again"

The pro-Russian hacking group Anonymous Sudan compromised Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) for the second time this year, knocking the SAS website and app offline for hours. The group tried to extort SAS with a $3,500 ransom to stop the attack. According to the SAS corporate website, the airline carrier for Denmark, Norway, and Sweden typically offers more than 800 scheduled flights per day to over 130 destinations worldwide. In February, Anonymous Sudan claimed the airlines as part of a Valentine's Day attack against Sweden, rendering the SAS website inaccessible for hours and compromising sensitive passenger data. Several Swedish media agencies were also targeted during the Valentine's Day attacks. The group claimed to have attacked Swedish companies in retaliation for the burning of a Koran by a well-known Swedish/Danish activist during a January protest in Stockholm supporting Sweden's bid to join NATO. This article continues to discuss the recent attack on the SAS company by the pro-Russian hacking group Anonymous Sudan.
