Cyberattack Hits Seven Indian Airports: GPS Spoofing Confirmed, No Flights Disrupted

The Indian government has confirmed that cyberattacks affected seven major airports, including GPS spoofing incidents at Delhi's airport where approaching flights were impacted. Other affected airports are Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. To prevent disruptions, India relies on a Minimum Operating Network (MON) of ground-based systems as a backup for satellite failures. Fortunately, no flights were disrupted due to the spoofing.
