Listen "Cyber chaos at Europe’s big airports"
Episode Synopsis
Spare a thought for anyone who’s tried to get to or from Europe this week – not only is a “super typhoon” wreaking havoc in Hong Kong, but a massive ransomware attack over the weekend crippled several major airports in Europe, including London’s Heathrow. Passengers were stranded, flights thrown into chaos, and scenes of long lines and pandemonium dominated the headlines – but never fear, for the Australian Aviation Podcast has just the expertise to break down what happened and who might be responsible. On this week’s podcast, Jake and David take a look back at the hack attack, how it unfolded, and what it might mean for Australian airports. Plus, three QantasLink bases could get the chop following a review – how might it impact both staff and regional travellers?
