UK airports have become the latest target of cyberattacks, with claims of hacking attempts by pro-Kremlin groups.
On Wednesday afternoon, London City Airport’s website experienced downtime which coincided with an apparent claim of a hack by a pro-Kremlin group called UserSec.
Shortly afterwards, another group – Anonymous Russia – claimed to have launched a similar attack on Birmingham Airport’s website. However, the website remained operational at the time. The hacking attempts raise additional concerns about cybersecurity vulnerabilities at critical infrastructure points like airports. Fortunately, arrival and departure boards indicated that flight operations continued smoothly.
