Airport websites hit by denial of service attack
The website of Israel’s Airports Authority has been knocked offline due to a denial of service attack, the agency says.
The attack on its website, it says, is not affecting any airport operations.
Denial of Service, or DDoS attacks, target a website by overwhelming its servers with too many requests to connect.
The incident comes after a group of pro-Iran hackers in Iraq had threatened a large cyber attack on Israel in response to police actions in Jerusalem.
