Hi,

for a couple of days, now, shop.jeppesen.com (directly linked from jeppesen.com) has been down. The first days it showed a banner that it was "down due to technical issues", but since yesterday it just shows a banner saying "Jeppesen. A Boeing Company".

Is anyone else here able to reach the shop?

Is there any information about why, and how long this is going to last?

I'm quite seriously confused and bewildered that the market leader for aeronautical charts could just "close shop" like that. The only thing I could imagine that would take so long is an attack where data could have been modified, including backups, requiring manual validation of all data.

Thanks, that seems like it. So not only Jeppesen is affected.

As an update, the picture has now changed to a stylized map Europe, which is a bit weird.

Also: "Ransomware as a Service". That's how screwed up the IT world is.
