Seriously? More Airport Bullshit.

Oh joy. Another ransomware gang – this time it’s the predictably-named INC Ransomware – decided to have a bit of fun by crippling IT systems at airports across Europe. Specifically, they hit regional airports in Poland, Latvia and potentially others. Flights got delayed, baggage handling went tits up, the whole shebang. Basically, everything you *already* hate about air travel, but worse.

The attack involved exploiting vulnerabilities (surprise, surprise) to deploy their ransomware, encrypting shit and demanding a ransom. They’re claiming to have stolen data too, because of course they are. Poland’s CERT is on it, trying to clean up the mess, but honestly? It’s probably already too late for anyone’s vacation plans.

The worst part? No official word on *which* vulnerabilities were exploited, meaning every other airport in Europe is now a potential target. Fantastic. Just fucking fantastic. Expect more chaos. You’ve been warned.

And the kicker? They’re using a Linux variant of their ransomware. Because apparently, even your goddamn airport systems aren’t secure enough these days.

Reminds me of the time a junior sysadmin thought it was a good idea to leave an FTP server open on a public IP with default credentials. Default. Credentials. Got pwned by some script kiddie in Belarus within 48 hours. Lost a whole database of cat pictures. *Cat pictures*, people! This is why I drink. And why you should assume everything is compromised, all the time. Now leave me alone.
