A pro-Russian hacking group claimed credit for cyberattacks hitting more than a dozen U.S. airports’ websites.
They temporarily accessed parts of the sites which made it inaccessible to the public.
The hacking did not result in any operational disruptions.
Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the hacking group Killnet.
The attack resulted in an “inconvenience” for the public trying to access web domains with information on airport wait times and congestion.
