Russian Hackers Attacked U.S. Airports Websites

By Roscid Dr3am1ng |
Several U.S. airport websites were temporarily taken down due to the attack of pro-Russian hackers last Monday. According to Andrew Gobeil, spokesman for Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, on Monday morning, they noticed that the external website was down and quickly ordered their IT and security people to investigate the said attack. He also said that the attack did not impact the airport's operations.


    The pro-Russian hacker group known as "Killnet" used a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack to take down the said websites temporarily. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) is a malicious attempt where the attacker's goal is to disrupt the regular traffic of a server, service, or network. This was done by sending many requests to the target, which overloaded resources and made them unavailable.

    According to some reports, the attack launched by the Killnet wasn't intended to steal information or compromise the internal systems of the targets. But can be a warning sign to the U.S. about its involvement in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.


    There's still no clear report on how many U.S. airports were hit and whether the sites suffered any disruptions. But among them were Los Angeles International, Chicago O'Hare, Orlando International Airport, and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International.

    The FBI, Transportation Security Administration, and the affected airports' IT Team is still working to restore all of the services and monitor the issue.

HOW TO BYPASS ALL SHORT LINKS?

By Roscid Dr3am1ng |
  Bitly, TinyURL, Cuttly, and many more. These are some of the URL shorteners that you can find on the internet. The main purpose of these websites or tools is to shorten the links that we share on the internet or make someone earn money by just sharing a link.           But one of the main problems here is, there are so many URL shorteners that made the work much longer and there are so many ads, which is very annoying in my case.
