Several U.S. airport websites were temporarily taken down on Monday, according to a pro-Russian hacker organization, but there didn’t appear to be any effects on flight operations.
The websites for Los Angeles International, Chicago O’Hare, and Hartsfield-Jackson International in Atlanta were among those affected by the cyberattacks, according to Killnet.

The organization published a list of airports on Telegram, inviting hackers to take part in a distributed denial-of-service attack, or DDoS attack, which is brought on when a computer network is overwhelmed with several data transmissions at the same time.
Among the airports that responded to the group’s call to action were those in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Missouri.

It was unclear right away how many airports were actually affected and whether any of the victims’ sites experienced any interruptions.Killnet earlier on Monday stated that more U.S. sites, such as sea terminals and logistical facilities, weather monitoring centers, health care systems, subway systems, exchanges, and online trading platforms, could be exposed to this kind of cyberattack.
After encouraging hackers to take down state government websites, the hacker organization last week also took credit for a new round of cyberattacks, according to CNN. The two cyberattack attacks seem to be in response to American involvement in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.
The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.
“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.
The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
