Hawaiian Airlines experienced a cyberattack that took down some of its IT systems, although it managed to operate a full flight schedule. The attack was attributed to the cybercriminal group Scattered Spider. The Federal Aviation Administration assisted to ensure flight safety. The attack caused intermittent interruptions and errors on the airline's website and app, which were largely restored after five days. Hawaiian Airlines runs 150 flights each day and reported $869 million of revenue in its last quarter as an independent company.
