🔴 South Africa Seeks Help After Cyberattack Targets Air Traffic Control

The South African state-owned company that provides air traffic control (ATC) and weather operations for approximately 10% of the world's airspace discovered ransomware-linked malware in an operational technology (OT) network, according to public documents released this month.

The company, Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS), believes that its technical team stopped the attack, but it issued a request for quotes (RFQ) seeking cyber-forensics firms to investigate the incident. A second attack, possibly an insider's theft of data, is also part of the investigation request.
