Major airline tech provider Accelya suffers ransomware attack

A technology provider for the world’s largest airlines reported it became a victim of a ransomware attack impacting some of its networks.

Accelya – a technology firm providing services to Delta, British Airways, JetBlue, United, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines and many more – confirmed Tuesday that two of the security firms it hired to address the incident discovered that company data was posted on a ransomware leak site.

The Black Cat ransomware group published data it allegedly stole from Accelya last Thursday. The hackers claimed to have stolen emails, worker contracts and more.

A spokesperson for Accelya told that the experts the firm hired managed to “quarantine” the ransomware before it could spread further throughout their system.

Our forensic investigators confirmed it was limited to a contained portion of our overall environment. We have no evidence to indicate that the malware could have moved laterally from our systems to our customers’ environments.

They added that the company is going over the data published to the AlphV leak site last week and will notify any customers who had information exposed.

The other day, one of the largest platforms for trading CS:GO skins CS.MONEY has taken its website offline after a hacker attack allowed threat actors to loot 20,000 items worth nearly $6,000,000.
