"The flight from Madrid to Toronto is likely to have been deliberately targeted rather than being accidentally caught in the 'usual spillover' of electronic warfare, one analyst said."

"The suspected cyber attack happened in the northeastern Atlantic when a pilot reported being blocked from ascending to a higher altitude because the GPS (global positioning system) of the aircraft above them had been jammed, according to the Institute for the Study of War think tank."

"The cause of the jamming has not yet been identified, but GPS jamming has been recently reported over Poland and the Baltic region and attributed to Russian electronic warfare."

Article does not include the airline or flight number, as far as I could tell. Reading the article required me to register on the site and clicking 1 link casued me to hit a paywall. See before for my attempts to find out more.
