U.S. AIRPORT HIT WITH CYBERATTACK OVER UKRAINE: 'NO ONE IS AFRAID OF YOU'

News Cyberattack Russia-Ukraine War Russia Ukraine


The website of Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, was
hit with a cyberattack Tuesday, according to the Connecticut Airport Authority
(CAA) and the situational awareness update service CyberKnow.

A translated message left by the hackers said that "when the supply of weapons
to Ukraine stops, attacks on the information structure of your country will
instantly stop," CyberKnow reported. "America, no one is afraid of you," the
message added. The CAA, which operates Bradley Airport, told Newsweek it was
"actively monitoring an external attempt to crash the Bradley Airport website."

As of 1 p.m. ET, the website appeared to be operating normally. "The website is
currently live and there is no data breach. The incident is isolated to the
website only and there is no impact to airport operations," the U.S.
Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency said in a statement.



It was not immediately clear why the Connecticut airport would have been
targeted in an attack. CyberKnow said it was carried out by the Russian hacker
group Killnet, although the CAA did not attribute the attack to a particular
group in its statement. The FBI's director recently said he is concerned about
possible Russian cyberattacks against critical U.S. infrastructure.

The attack was identified as a distributed denial of service, which is "when
legitimate users are unable to access information systems, devices, or other
network resources due to the actions of a malicious cyber threat actor,"
according to the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency.



This is not the first time Killnet has reportedly used a hack to send a message
in connection with the Russia-Ukraine war in recent weeks. After the hacker
group Anonymous carried out several of its own cyberattacks against Russian
sites and services in response to the Ukrainian invasion, Killnet said it had
disrupted Anonymous' servers in retaliation, U.K. newspaper Metro reported.

Anonymous recently said it was able to disrupt some Russian media sites and even
"shut down" Russia's space agency, Roscosmos. But that agency's director
general, Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin, denied the claim, according to an earlier
report published by Metro.

Metro also reported that Killnet posted a Russian-language video message earlier
this month that appeared to address the claims by Anonymous. In the video
message, a hooded figure dressed in dark clothing with a distorted voice is
shown while the audio plays.

"Greetings, Russians and friendly union nations. The internet is full of fake
information about the hacking of Russian banks, hacks on Russian media servers,
and much more," the figure said, according to a translation from Metro. "None of
this poses any danger to people. This 'information bomb' is merely text and
nothing more. Do not fall for fake information on the internet. Have no doubts
about your country."

The same hooded figure was shown in a picture posted Tuesday by CyberKnow along
with the report on the Bradley Airport cyberattack. But the figure was in front
of a different backdrop with the words "Hello USA."

Update 03/29/22, 1:20 p.m. ET: This story was updated with additional
information and background.
