Event description
A cyberattack struck the heart of State F’s international airport, the SkyTech Mechanics design bureau. The attackers stole the technical documentation for one of the key projects—a new runway worth 2.5 billion rubles. Gaining access to the chief engineer’s computer was a breeze for the perpetrators as they had previously uploaded malware disguised as a security system update.
"All our hard work could end up in the hands of competitors or, even worse, on the black market," said one of the employees. The breach has jeopardized not only the project’s success but also future collaborations with contractors, who are already requesting a review of the partnership terms.
