Russian Travel Booking Platform Goes Offline After Cyberattack, Halting New Reservations

Anywayanyday, one of Russia's oldest online travel booking services, has temporarily suspended new bookings after a cyberattack on its IT infrastructure. Customers cannot buy airline or train tickets or book hotels through the platform, and its website remains unavailable while the company works to restore its systems. Reservations that were already confirmed remain valid, though the company has not said when normal operations will resume.

In a statement, the company said it has already taken steps to strengthen its security and found no evidence that customers' personal data was compromised. It did not identify the attackers or explain how its systems were breached. Launched in 2008, the platform had partnerships with about 800 airlines and 330,000 hotels as of 2025.

The incident comes while Russia's aviation industry is dealing with major disruption from Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow. More than 500 flights have been delayed or canceled at Moscow airports since Tuesday evening. Russian airline booking systems have been targeted before: in 2023, a large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack disrupted the Leonardo airline reservation system, affecting several carriers and causing flight delays.
