Hoax Bomb Calls To Airlines: 11 Fake X Profiles Flagged As Threats Continue

“As threats continue to surface, the balance between caution and operational integrity becomes a critical focus for aviation security teams. It is not a simple case of cybercrime. It has now become very complex as aviation is a critical sector globally. There are several strict norms for the global airspace. We cannot even divulge all critical details at this juncture,” said the senior officer, who is associated with the investigation process.

“Expect tighter scrutiny as investigations have ramped up. We are working on some leads,” he added. The senior officer further explained that the surge in such hoax messages has heightened tensions in aviation security as authorities grapple with the fine line between managing panic and ensuring passenger protection.

The ministry of home affairs, the civil aviation ministry and agencies concerned, including the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and related organisations, have been taking all efforts to ensure security of flights with Indian call signs in the airspace, said another senior officer in the aviation ministry, according to News 18.
