According to local and international sources, several SAS customers noticed that they were able to access other customers' SAS accounts when they tried to log into their own accounts on the Scandinavian airline SAS's website or app. This occurred after SAS was hit by a hacker attack on Tuesday afternoon, during which customers were able to view other customers' information, which may have included travel information, bonus points, contact information, and payment information.
SAS urged customers Tuesday evening not to log into their accounts, and around 9:00 PM announced that login was possible again.
وأعلنت جماعة تطلق على نفسها اسم “أنونيموس سودان Anonymous Sudan” -أي مجهول سودان- المسؤولية عن هجمات القرصنة الإلكترونية التي استهدفت عدداً من وسائل الإعلام السويدية التي تعرضت أيضاً للاختراق في نفس اليوم، حيث أشارت المجموعة إلى أنها قامت بذلك انتقامأً لحرق القرآن في السويد، وهو ما كان الدنماركي السويدي راسموس بالودان مسؤولاً عنه، بحسب قناة التلفزيون السويدية SVT .
However, Marcus Murray, one of Sweden’s leading IT security experts, points out that the Sudanese group is not necessarily behind the hack, as he believes it could also be a Russian attack under a false name because Russia has a lot to gain from the fact that Islamic countries are still angry with Sweden, he told SVT.
It is unknown whether the attack on SAS has any connection to the other hacker attacks against Swedish media on Tuesday. The same group claimed responsibility several days ago for a series of cyberattacks that occurred in the past few days on the Swedish healthcare infrastructure. The group also claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on the infrastructure of educational institutions in Sweden. The group also threatened to hack several major and secondary airports in Sweden. The group, which is based in Sudan, said that the reason behind the series of cyberattacks was recent activities in Sweden and the Netherlands that offended their religious feelings.
