"A series of real-time internal Aer Lingus memos seen by the Sunday Independent reveal in fascinating detail how the airline coped as a cyber attack coincided with a separate bomb alert at Dublin Airport, forcing the evacuation of 12,000 passengers from Terminal 2."
Unclear whether the cyber attack was carried out by criminals or nation-state actors. Fears are mounting over asymmetrical cyber and drone attacks on Europe's aviation sector.

The bomb alert forced the evacuation of 12,000 passengers from Terminal 2. The coincidence of multiple security incidents caused significant operational disruption and highlighted vulnerabilities in airport and airline incident response capabilities.
