INCIDENT: Cyberattack attack at Boeing Subsidiary Causes Widespread Flight Disruptions

Jeppesen, a wholly-owned Boeing subsidiary that provides navigation and flight planning tools, confirmed on Thursday that it is dealing with a cybersecurity incident that has caused some flight disruptions. Receipt and processing of so-called notice to air missions, which inform pilots and airlines about potential hazards during flights, have also been impacted.
