An unspecified IT attack has left 1,400 passengers of Polish flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines stuck in Warsaw, after the company discovered it was unable to file flight plans for its departing aircraft.
Reuters reports that the airline's ground computer system — used to issue the flight plans — had been "hacked" on Sunday afternoon.
The system was "fixed" after five hours, leading to ten cancellations and a dozen or more flights being delayed.
LOT announced that it had "encountered IT attack (sic), that affected our ground operation systems. As a result we’re not able to create flight plans, and outbound flights from Warsaw are not able to depart."
