Cheers for clearing that up - was wondering if/how hackers really could take down the entire Russian aviation sector, seems to be emails / registration data & the website.

"A powerful and effective cyberattack on the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) infrastructure that took place on Saturday morning has erased all documents, files, aircraft registration data and mails from the servers. In total, about 65 terabytes of data was erased. The news became known on Monday morning, the agency’s official website (favt.ru) went also down.
It's interesting though, I wonder how many bedroom hackers are actively trying to interfere with Russian services & how much inconvenience they could poetntially cause.
It’s open season. Western states have tacitly condoned beasting russian IT infrastructure, and I’m certain much of the ‘public’ efforts are actually down to state actors.

The lines between private hacker groups and state sponsored hacking have been very blurry for a long time. Its essentially a new cold war filled with agents and double agents.
