SpiceJet passengers were stranded at various airports on Wednesday as its systems faced a ransomware attack on Tuesday night.
Certain SpiceJet systems endured an attempted ransomware attack last night that affected and slowed down morning flight departures today (Wednesday).
"Some flights to airports where there are restrictions on night operations have been cancelled. SpiceJet is in touch with experts and cybercrime authorities on the issue," SpiceJet said in a tweet.
The authorities reported that their IT team has contained and rectified the situation, and flights are operating normally now.
One of the passengers, Saurav Goyal, tweeted, "Extremely poor customer service by flyspicejet. My flight to Srinagar SG 473 scheduled at 6.25 AM from Delhi today is still at the airport. The Staff has no clue and poor excuse is 'server down' so cannot take printouts. Passengers are suffering."
