Picture this: You're at London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, ready to check in for your flight. But the kiosks aren't working. The screens are blank. Airport staff are scrambling with iPads and even pen and paper to manually check passengers in. Your flight is delayed, maybe canceled. And you're stuck in a long line with thousands of other frustrated travelers.

Today we're diving into something that disrupted the travel plans of thousands of people just a few weeks ago - a massive cyberattack that brought some of Europe's busiest airports to a grinding halt.

This wasn't a scene from the 1970s - this happened in September 2025. And it wasn't just Heathrow. Brussels, Berlin, Dublin - major airports across Europe were hit simultaneously.

Over the next 30 mins or so, we're going to unpack what happened, who was behind it, how the attack unfolded, and what this means for the future of critical infrastructure security. We'll also look back at other major airport attacks from recent years to understand the bigger picture.

So whether you're a security analyst, a CISO, or just someone who travels and wants to understand these threats, stick around.
