“Service has largely been restored to the websites for some of the nation's largest airports, including LaGuardia, after they were taken down by Russian hackers. More than a dozen websites were hit Monday morning and a Russian hacker group claimed responsibility.“
“The systems targeted did not handle air traffic control, internal airline communications/coordination or transportation security. While the attack didn't disrupt any air travel, it raises the concern that America is a target for future cyber attacks.“
“The attacks were first reported around 3 a.m. when the Port Authority notified the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that the LaGuardia system had been hit. A spokesperson with Port Authority said their website was compromised for 15 minutes in what appears to be a coordinated cyber attack on U.S. airport websites. “
“Investigators are looking into the Russian cyber group Killnet and any possible connections to the war in Ukraine. “
