Newsroom

Hermes Airports' website was targeted in a cyberattack today, but initial reports indicate that airport operations remain unaffected, the company said.

For several hours, hackers attempted to inflict damage on the Hermes Airports website. Officials assured that they thwarted the attack and confirmed that the site is functioning normally, expressing no cause for concern.

The cyber security group Odyssey and Ithaca Labs had previously warned of potential cyberattacks on critical services in Cyprus.

"We have observed a hacking group known as LulzSec Black publicly declare their intention to target critical infrastructure in Cyprus. This attack appears politically motivated, citing Cyprus's relationship with Israel as a factor behind the impending cyber assault," they announced.
