NEW YORK — Some of the nation's largest airports have been targeted for cyberattacks Monday by an attacker within the Russian Federation, a senior official briefed confirmed to ABC News.
Importantly, the systems targeted do not handle air traffic control, internal airline communications and coordination, or transportation security.The attacks have resulted in targeted"denial of public access" to public-facing web domains that report airport wait times and congestion.
"Killnet," a pro-Russian hacker group, is believed to be behind the attack, according to Hultquist. While similar groups have been found to be fronts for state-backed actors, Hultquist said there is no evidence the Russian government was involved in directing this attack. The websites for Des Moines International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport and Chicago O'Hare International Airport appeared impacted Monday morning.
"Early this morning, the FlyLAX.com website was partially disrupted," LAX said in a statement to ABC News."The service interruption was limited to portions of the public facing FlyLAX.com website only. No internal airport systems were compromised and there were no operational disruptions."The group"Killnet" has been active since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, targeting Ukrainian allies and recently claiming credit for taking down government websites in the U.
