In yet another cyber attack on the aviation industry, Brazilian company Embraer which is the third-largest airplane maker after Boeing and Airbus, has become latest victim of a ransomware attack, the media reported on Monday.

Hackers uploaded data of Embraer employees, business contracts, photos of flight simulations and source code, among others, on the Dark Web, reports ZDNet.
