History
2025
Site malfunction due to hacker attack
On September 18, 2025, KrasAvia Airlines reported a failure in the operation of its information systems. Due to a hacker invasion, the functioning of a number of services has been disrupted, and the air carrier's website has been unavailable for several days.
The fact that the problems arose as a result of a cyber attack, employees of the KrasAvia press service told Interfax. Hackers, in particular, disabled the online registration system, in connection with which the airline asks passengers to come to the departure airport in advance in order to check in directly on the spot. At the same time, it is emphasized that all flights are operated according to plan. The company recommends that passengers follow information on airport boards and public address announcements.
 | The operation of the information systems of the airline "KrasAvia" failed. There may be interruptions in the operation of services. Currently, the team of specialists is working to minimize the risks of fulfilling the production flight plan and the speedy restoration of the normal operation of services. We apologize for the inconvenience caused, - says the Telegram channel "KrasAvia." |  |
Representatives of the airline told RIA Novosti that failures in the operation of information systems are associated "with external illegal influence." Experts assess the scale of damage and the recovery time of services. After the hacker invasion, it was possible to eliminate problems in the operation of the customer support center: the airline helps passengers on all incoming issues.
JSC "KrasAvia" was formed in 2007 on the basis of GP "Evenkia-Avia" and completely belongs to the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The fleet consists of ATR-72, ATR-42, Yak-42, An-24, An-26, L-410 aircraft, as well as Mi-8 helicopters of various modifications. The airline's route network includes over 30 regular destinations.[2]
"KrasAvia" switched to manual operation. Hackers who previously hacked Aeroflot are suspected of attack
On the morning of September 18, a message about a failure appeared on the Telegram channel of the Krasnoyarsk airline KrasAvia[3]
| | The operation of the information systems of the airline "KrasAvia" failed. Possible interruptions in the work of services... Currently, the team of specialists is working to minimize the risks of fulfilling the production flight plan and the speedy restoration of the normal operation of services. | |
Later, in the middle of the day, another message appeared there:
| | All flights of KrasAvia airline are carried out according to plan. Due to the fact that online registration is temporarily unavailable, we ask you to come to the airport of departure in advance to check in at the airport. | |
In the comments to the second post, a screenshot was published, which indicates that the deface of the site was made by the pro-Ukrainian group Silent Crow. True, the address indicated in the screenshot - booking.krasavia.ru - does not exist. There is a link to this online registration system only on the site airlines-airports.com.
At the same time, Yandex issues another link to online registration for KrasAvia flights - a krasavia.ru/check-in that, however, also does not work. Moreover, the international website of the company - krasavia.com.ru - works normally.
{{quote "Perhaps Silent Crow is also involved in this attack," commented Oleg Shakirov, author of the Cyber War Telegram channel[4]- A screenshot of the KrasAvia page with a deface was published in the regional telegram channel Borus: crossed-out logos of Aeroflot and KrasAvia are placed in the center of the screen, and below under the inscription "We have not started yet..." and logos of other Russian airlines. The screenshot also features two images of the bird, one of which (right) is a Silent Crow channel avatar. }}
As stated in Silent[5], Silent Crow (from the English silent - silent, crow - raven) is a hacker group operating since January 2025. The main targets for the attack are critical infrastructure and state institutions of Russia, as well as companies associated with the Russian government. July 28, 2025 took responsibility for hacking Aeroflot systems.
As of the evening of September 18, the Russian website of the KrasAvia airline is still not working - more precisely, it has a plug that says that the site is under maintenance. However, the StormWall anti-DDoS system is actually responsible for this stub.
TAdviser requested comments from KrasAvia.
