Jeppesen cyberattack disrupts aviation flight-planning and navigation services

On November 2, 2022, Jeppesen, a Boeing subsidiary providing aviation navigation and flight-planning services, experienced a cybersecurity incident affecting several customer-facing products. Boeing confirmed flight-planning disruption, while aviation authorities documented interruptions to navigation-data updates and the need for alternative information sources. The incident affected the operational delivery of aviation information services, although Boeing reported no identified flight-safety threat and subsequently stated that the incident had not materially affected Jeppesen's overall business operations. The attack mechanism was not conclusively established; a later ransomware actor's data-theft claim does not establish ransomware deployment.
