JAKARTA - The airline ScandINAvia Airlines, SAS, reportedly experienced a cyberattack on Tuesday night, February 14. They then asked customers not to use the application. But next, SAS stated the problem had been fixed.

The news also stated that the attack paralyzed the operator's website and caused a leak of customer information from its app.

Karin Nyman, Head of Media at SAS, told Reuters at 20.35 GMT Tuesday that the company was working to repair attacks on apps and websites.

"We can't say much at this time because we are in the current attack," he was quoted as saying by Reuters. He added that the app was working well at the time.

Earlier, Nyman told national news agency TT that there was a risk of getting incorrect information by logging into the app and asking customers not to use it. All websites were also inaccessible on Tuesday.

According to TT, customers who try to get into the SAS app, log into the wrong account and have access to other people's personal details. The Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang, reported the same thing happened to Norwegian customers. Several Swedish companies and organizations have also recently been reported to be the targets of cyberattacks.

On Tuesday, Sweden's national television broadcast, SVT, was temporarily inaccessible. The broadcaster wrote on his website that a group called "Anonymous Sudan" claimed responsibility for the attack and posted on Telegram that Swedish media would be attacked as a result of burning the Koran in Sweden.
