Nation State-Sponsored Attackers Hacked Two Airports, Report Says
The campaign was discovered in 2013. The federal government notified the Center for Internet Security, a nonprofit group that works closely with state and local governments, about a so-called advanced persistent threat targeting four airports, CIS officials said. APTs involve attackers, typically nation state-sponsored, who use sophisticated methods to creep around in a network for as long as it takes to get the information they want.
