A pro-Russian group is claiming credit for a series of disruptions that temporarily knocked the websites of some U.S. airports offline.
The group, called Killnet, has engaged in a series of cyberattacks in recent months against Western targets, including incidents that temporarily rendered some state government websites offline last week, according to cybersecurity experts.
On Killnet’s Telegram channel, the group claims to have launched attacks against dozens of U.S. airports though it wasn’t immediately clear how many of the airports were actually hit and whether the victims suffered any disruptions. A representative for the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency didn’t immediately respond to phone calls and emails.
