Russian travel booking platform suspends reservations after cyberattack

Russian online travel agency Anywayanyday has temporarily suspended new bookings after a cyberattack on its IT infrastructure, leaving customers unable to purchase airline and train tickets or book hotels through its platform, the company said on Wednesday.

The agency's website remains unavailable as it works to restore its systems. Previously confirmed reservations remain valid, Anywayanyday said, without providing a timeline for resuming normal operations.

“We have already taken steps to strengthen our security and are working to restore service availability,” Anywayanyday said in a statement, adding that it had found no evidence that customers' personal data had been compromised.

The company did not identify the attackers or disclose how its systems were breached.

Launched in 2008, Anywayanyday is one of Russia's oldest online travel booking services. As of 2025, the platform had partnerships with approximately 800 airlines and 330,000 hotels.

The cyberattack comes as Russia's aviation industry faces widespread disruptions following a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Moscow.

More than 500 flights have been delayed or canceled at airports serving the Russian capital since Tuesday evening, while Russia's aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, has imposed temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures at all four major Moscow airports.

Russian airline booking systems have previously been targeted by hackers. In 2023, a large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack disrupted the Leonardo airline reservation system, affecting several Russian carriers and causing flight delays at airports.
