Des Moines, IA- The websites of over a dozen US airports were attacked by Russian hackers Monday, including the Des Moines airport.
Radio Iowa reports that a group linked to the Kremlin has claimed credit for the online attacks, which did not affect flights or air traffic control but took down the websites of airports in New York, Chicago and Atlanta as well as Des Moines.
FLYDSM.com was down for a couple of hours but has been restored.
The website lets travelers check flight departures and arrivals in Des Moines, information that is available separately through each airline’s website.
