By CBS Denver Staff:

The websites for several major U.S. airports are back online after pro-Russian hackers say they knocked more than a dozen of them offline. Denver International Airport was among the airports that was targeted on Monday but its website didn't go down. No flights on Tuesday are affected.

The hack comes a week after the State of Colorado website was targeted by hackers. The homepage was down for two days as part of that incident.
