Hello. A man in his forties has been arrested in connection with a hack that has disrupted operations at big European airports since Sept. 19. He is out on bail and the investigation is ongoing, the U.K.'s National Crime Agency said Wednesday.
U.S. defense and aerospace company RTX on Wednesday acknowledged a "cybersecurity incident" affecting its passenger processing software in a disclosure to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RTX's Collins Aerospace unit provides check-in and baggage systems shared by airlines at Heathrow, along with airports in Berlin, Brussels and Dublin, all of which have seen flight upsets for several days.
"Our customers have shifted to back-up or manual processes and have experienced certain flight delays and cancellations," RTX said in an SEC filing.
Collins runs many lines of business, including doing tech modernization and systems security for the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S., and generally accounts for about one-third of RTX's revenue.
RTX said it doesn't expect the incident to have a material impact on its business.
