Bradley Airport Cyberattack Related To U.S. Support Of Ukraine

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — An external party has attempted to crash Bradley International Airport's website, the Connecticut Airport Authority said.

The CAA is actively monitoring the cyberattack, but Bradley's website is still up and running and no data breach has been reported, officials said. The crash attempt is isolated to the website and has not impacted the airport's operations, the CAA said.

CyberKnow, a situational awareness updates service, said Russian hacker group Killnet claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Newsweek.

According to CyberKnow, a translated message left by the hackers said "when the supply of weapons to Ukraine stops, attacks on the information structure of your country will instantly stop," Newsweek reported.

"America, no one is afraid of you...," the message reads.

Officials have identified the cyberattack as a distributed denial of service (DDoS), the CAA said. According to Cloudfare, a DDoS attack is an attempt to disrupt a website by flooding it with internet traffic.
