News from Al-Madinah: An official at the US Treasury revealed, on Tuesday, that a group of pirates loyal to Russia targeted the ministry last month, but the accident caused a slight disturbance that is almost incapable.
While he stressed that the Ministry’s reinforcement approach to cybersecurity of the financial system works well.
Todd Conkelin, Cyber Security Adviser, to the Deputy Treasury Secretary, Adimo, told Reuters that the ministry attributed the attacks of the distributed service (DDOS) to Killnet, a Russian pirate group that claimed responsibility for disrupting the sites of several US states and airports last October.
It is interesting that a top American official acknowledged last month that on October 10, electronic strikes targeted some of the country’s busiest airports.
The operation was carried out by a striker inside the Russian Federation, the insider told ABC News.
Thankfully for these airports, the systems that were attacked had nothing to do with air traffic control, airline communications and coordination, or transportation security.
However, the attacks led to the “prevention” of travelers to the websites that show waiting and crowding times at the airport.
At around 3 am EST, when the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency revealed that the Laguardia airport system had been hacked but restored, airports initially reported the attacks.
However, other airports around the nation were already impacted.
Web sites of the Des Moines International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Chicago Ohair International Airport were also affected by October 10.
While claiming that its location is now operational and that “the activities at the airport were not hampered at any time,” Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport stated at around 10:30 am EST.
ABC reported that programmers and engineers are working to close the gaps that allowed hackers to pirate.
This occurs as tensions between Moscow and the West, as well as between Washington and Moscow, are rising due to the Russian military activity in Ukraine and cyberattack warnings.
