Man arrested in connection with Heathrow cyber-attack


A person has been arrested in connection with a cyber-attack which caused days of disruption at several European airports including Heathrow.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said a 40-year-old man was arrested in West Sussex “as part of an investigation into a cyber incident impacting Collins Aerospace”.

There were hundreds of flight delays after baggage and check-in software used by several airlines failed, with affected airports boarding passengers using pen and paper.

The NCA said its investigation was in the early stages and still ongoing.
