More than a dozen US airport websites appeared inaccessible on Monday morning, with Russian-speaking hackers claiming responsibility.
Russian-speaking hackers claim to have taken down informational websites for some of America’s busiest airports.
A Russian cyber attack has hit the websites of multiple U.S. airports, including La Guardia, ATL, ORD, LAX and Des Moines. The attack is not affecting airport/airline/security operations, only airport websites. ATL says it just brought its website back up.
