Security News > 2020 > September > Attacks on Flight Tracking Services Possibly Linked to Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict
Distributed denial-of-service attacks launched in recent days against popular flight tracking services may be linked to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
UK-based live flight tracking service Plane Finder, which is used by millions of people, informed users on Tuesday via Twitter that its services were disrupted by a cyberattack.
The company said that while its services were disrupted, it found no evidence of user information being compromised.
Several individuals believe the DDoS attack may be related to the fight between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.
There are also some unconfirmed reports that the Turkish Cyber Army, a pro-Turkey hacktivist collective, is behind the DDoS attacks on the flight tracking services.
