Pro-Russian hacktivists have reportedly taken responsibility for cyber attacks on multiple US airports.
Websites for cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, Phoenix and St Louis were briefly taken offline today after being flooded with traffic.
They were targeted after the pro-Russian hacking group known as ‘KillNet’ shared a list of sites and encouraged its followers to attack them. The hacker group shared a still from The Hunger Games trilogy with text that read ‘Let The Hunger Games begin in USA 2022’ on its Telegram channel.‘To all hackers who participated in the liquidation of the United States of America, do not stop,’ they wrote later.The group has been active since the beginning of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in February.
The attacks only affected the public-facing websites of the airports, which supply flight and services information.Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport said its website is ‘up and running after an incident early this morning that made it inaccessible to the public’.
