I couldn't find the Windows reference in the article and various links.
I did find a reference [0] elsewhere.
Apologies if I missed something.
> According to other sources, the head of Aeroflot has not changed his password since 2022, and the company's infrastructure was running on outdated versions of Windows XP and 2003. "The cybersecurity of Russia's key infrastructure is basically at the high school level," the NEXTA agency noted . [1]
> People are commenting on the event on social media.
> “Jesus, a national airline with a three-year-old password? That’s negligence on a new level. No wonder the hackers got their way.” “It looks like they didn’t even pay for licenses. The domain controller in one of the published images didn’t even have Windows activated. So updates were out of the question.” “The password is said to be 1234.”

> Aeroflot got hacked because of a three-year-old password — a state-level IT embarrassment
> The Belarusian hacktivist group Cyber Partisans BY, who breached Aeroflot, claim the airline’s CEO hadn’t changed his password since 2022. The company’s cybersecurity? A total joke: they’re still running Windows XP and Server 2003, and employees ignore even the most basic digital hygiene. The hack was only a matter of time.
> Here’s what we know:
Hackers wiretapped employees for over a year and downloaded all internal communications
The entire passenger flight history has been leaked
Some of the stolen data will reportedly be published soon
> The cybersecurity of Russia’s key infrastructure is basically running at middle school level.
