WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Hawaiian Airlines said on Thursday that some of its IT systems were disrupted by a hack, adding its flights were operating as scheduled.
In a statement, Hawaiian Airlines said “some of our IT systems” had been affected by a “cybersecurity event.” The nature of the event was not disclosed, but that kind of language is typically used in cases of ransomware incidents, where digital extortionists paralyze a victim's computer network until a cryptocurrency ransom is paid.
