Continental Hacked

Continental Aerospace is under a cyberattack and it has affected its operations in Alabama. The company posted the following notice on its website: Continental^® US operations were recently impacted by a cyber incident affecting daily Operations based in Alabama. Continental^® is actively engaged with a team of experts who are working to resolve the issues as quickly as possible and expects to resume full operations soon.

Continental did not respond to our email request for more details but an AVweb reader reported that the delivery date of an engine he has ordered has been pushed back at least a month. "So far, build completion date for this engine, ordered 28 December, has slipped from 24 Feb to "end of March", as of two weeks ago," the reader reported. He said he has not been told the reason for the delay but wonders if the cyber attack had anything to do with it.
