Hackerattack mot Kastrup

Massiv hackerattack mot Köpenhamns flygplats

Köpenhamns flygplats är utsatt för en hackerattack mot sin hemsida vilket gör att bokningssystemen ligger nere. ”Vi upplever just nu en massiv hackerattack på cph.dk, som vi jobbar för att avvärja”, skriver flygplatsen på sin Facebooksida.

Any flights delayed or canceled yet because of this?

This kind of thing should have sort of been anticipated, even more so after a heavily Russian-led hacker group was shut down by a multi-country sting operation earlier this month after rather extensive investigations came up also with a lot of info about where they were targeting and how and even when and why. Some criminals get shut down and those connected with them lash out in response, especially when their hacking tools and bot networks have been compromised to a substantial extent and the tools face diminished returns if not used sooner than later in an environment of diminished chance of immediate and cheap replacement and deployment.

AIUI from the reporting it's (1) not a hacker attack, (2) "just" a denial of service against the website. Even the app still works. But you can't book parking. So if the reporting is correct, it shouldn't have any effect on the flights.

DDOS attacks often use hacked networks to make their assaults.

Flights seem to be going out fine.

TT reported that the DDOS cyberattacks hit CPH, the airport in Bornhom and the one in Thisted too. Said it seemed to be the work of the same pro-Russian hacker group that had previously hit the Finnish parliament’s network too.

Seems like things at CPH.dk are pretty much back to normal now. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon and evening.
