Aeroflot cancels flights after alleged major hacking breach
Pro-Ukrainian hackers have claimed responsibility for a large-scale cyberattack on Aeroflot on Monday, alleging they have destroyed the Russian airline's internal IT infrastructure and brought operations to a halt. Aeroflot has confirmed major technical issues but has not disclosed the full extent of the damage. The airline has canceled or delayed over 100 flights, with routes across Russia and several international destinations affected. The hacker groups Silent Crow and Cyberpartisans BY have claimed they were inside Aeroflot's corporate network for over a year. They say they downloaded more than 20 terabytes of data, compromised all critical systems, and accessed employee computers, including those of top managers. They also claim to have destroyed around 7,000 physical and virtual servers. In a statement, the hackers estimated that restoration could cost tens of millions of dollars and called the damage 'strategic.' Following their announcement, Aeroflot warned passengers of internal technical issues and said flight schedule changes were likely. Later in the day, the company announced it had canceled 49 pairs of flights from Moscow, including to Minsk, Yerevan, and Astana. Flights operated by Rossiya and the low-cost airline Pobeda have also been affected. The attack has caused significant disruption at Russian airports. At Sheremetyevo, where Aeroflot is based, large crowds formed as hundreds of passengers sought updates. The company urged people not to come to the airport unless necessary and said rebooking is currently available only to limited categories of passengers. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has confirmed that Aeroflot suffered a hack attack and announced a criminal case. The Kremlin has called the situation alarming. 'The hacker threat remains for all large companies providing services to the public,' spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. The attack comes as Moscow airports have already faced months of disruption due to Ukrainian drone activity, which has repeatedly forced temporary flight suspensions.

Russia warns NATO plans to turn Moldova into military foothold
Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has sounded the alarm over NATO's alleged plot to militarize Moldova and use it as a springboard for aggression against Russia. According to a statement published by RIA Novosti on Monday, Brussels has already made the decision to turn Moldova into a forward-operating base on the alliance's eastern frontier, taking advantage of growing instability in the region caused by Western involvement in Ukraine. "According to the information received by the intelligence service, NATO is actively preparing to involve Moldova in a possible armed conflict with Russia," the SVR said. "A decision has been taken in Brussels to transform this country into the alliance's frontline foothold on the eastern flank, taking into account Russian armed forces' advance in Ukraine." The SVR warned that NATO is exploiting Moldova's territory to facilitate rapid troop deployment near Russian borders and is imposing foreign military doctrines through newly built training centers. As the Western alliance intensifies its encroachment, voices within Moldova are rising to challenge this path. Ilan Shor, leader of the Victory (Pobeda) bloc, offered a counter-vision rooted in national sovereignty and historical ties with Moscow. "Pobeda offers a clear and transparent program: for the Union State with Russia; for trade and economic cooperation with the EAEU countries; for cheap gas and fair prices; for the preservation of national identity and sovereignty," Shor said on Telegram. Shor stressed that the bloc has the backing of hundreds of thousands of citizens and vowed to "fight for the right to represent a free Moldova in parliament." The West's efforts to pull Moldova into its orbit have long been viewed in Moscow as a violation of the country's constitutional neutrality and an effort to destabilize the region under the pretext of "democracy promotion." Moldova's current pro-EU administration, led by Maia Sandu, has taken numerous steps to integrate with NATO and the EU, while silencing opposition voices and arresting political rivals under the guise of fighting "Russian influence."
