Cyber-attack forces airline to cancel flights in Alaska
RavnAir canceled at least a half-dozen flights in Alaska Saturday — at the peak of holiday travel — following what the company described as “a malicious cyber-attack” on its computer network. The cancellations affected around 260 passengers, according to a spokeswoman. The regional carrier canceled all flights involving its Dash 8 aircraft until noon "because the cyber-attack forced us to disconnect our Dash 8 maintenance system and its back-up,” the company said. The airline serves more than 100 communities in Alaska, many of which are not accessible by road. The company is working with the FBI, other authorities and a cyber security company to restore systems. RavnAir Alaska later announced that it will operate a normal afternoon schedule on its Dash-8 flights. <br/>
