Turkish hacker group says it was behind airport cyber attack

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Dissent

The Local reports:

Austrian police are investigating whether a Turkish nationalist group was behind a failed cyber attack on Vienna airport last week.

Hackers attempted to penetrate the airport’s computer systems but were prevented from doing so.

In a tweet, the hacker group “Aslan Neferler Tim” or “Lion Soldiers Team” says it launched the attack in response to the “racism” of airport authorities.

The group had claimed responsibility on Twitter in this September 3rd tweet:
