Last week, Swissport was hit by a ransomware attack that caused flight delays and service disruption. BlackCat ransomware has now claimed they were behind the attack and stole data containing images of passports, internal business memos and personal information of job candidates.

After this attack, it is likely the group will continue to strike, aiming for larger corporations or even government organizations.
