Flight of Fear: Aviation the New ‘Jamtara’ as Cybercriminals Target the Skies

In a concerning trend, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting India’s aviation sector, making it the latest battleground for digital fraud. On October 22, 2024, experts likened the emerging cyber threats in aviation to the infamous Jamtara cyber frauds. With the aviation industry growing rapidly, cybercriminals have identified new opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities in booking systems, passenger data, and online payment platforms.

Airlines, travel agencies, and even passengers have become victims of phishing scams, hacking, and ransomware attacks. These digital frauds have left many passengers stranded, with fake booking confirmations or unauthorized ticket cancellations. The rise in cyberattacks has prompted the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to issue new guidelines for airlines, advising them to strengthen their cybersecurity measures.

Experts warn that cybercrime in aviation is a growing concern, and unless strict security protocols are put in place, the industry may see more sophisticated attacks in the future. With increasing digital transactions in aviation, cybercriminals have more avenues to exploit, making it imperative for both companies and passengers to remain vigilant.
