Indianapolis International not impacted by cyberattack aimed at US airports

A denial-of-service attack organized by pro-Russia hackers affected the websites of some U.S. airports Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS — An apparently coordinated denial-of-service attack organized by pro-Russia hackers affected the websites of some major U.S. airports Monday, though officials said flights were not affected.

“We noticed this morning that the external website was down, and our IT and security people are in the process of investigating,” said Andrew Gobeil, a spokesman for Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Portions of the the Los Angeles International Airport website were also disrupted.
