Bristol Airport says it did not pay any ransom to recover from cyber attack

Officials at Bristol Airport in the UK declined to pay a ransom demand from extortionists who attacked its computer systems late last week. Information boards displaying flight arrival/departure times were taken offline on Friday morning. The airport advised passengers to arrive early and allow extra time for check-in and boarding. By 6:30am on Sunday it appeared the airport was returning to normal, and a tweet was posted announcing that the information screens were functioning once again. I’m impressed that Bristol Airport had emergency contingency plans in place to keep passengers informed about their flights.”]
