Two American citizens worked with Russian nationals to hack the John F. Kennedy International Airport's taxi dispatch system, the Department of Justice is alleging.
Founder of TrustedSec Dave Kennedy weighs in on a pro-Russia hacker group claiming responsibility for attacks against several U.S. airports and at least one major bank on 'Kennedy.'allegedly worked with Russian nationals in order to hack John F. Kennedy International Airport's taxi dispatch system.
Typically, taxi drivers are required to "in a holding lot at JFK before being dispatched to a specific terminal by the Dispatch System." The wait times are usually several hours before taxi drivers are dispatched to a terminal, which is determined by the order in which the vehicle arrived to the holding lot.
"I know that the Pentagon is being hacked[.]. So, can’t we hack the taxi industry[?]," Abayev allegedly messaged one of the Russian hackers. "Abayev and Leyman charged taxi drivers $10 each time they were advanced to the front of the line. Taxi drivers learned that they could skip the taxi line by paying $10 to members of the Hacking Scheme through word of mouth, and members of the Hacking Scheme offered some taxi drivers waivers of the $10 fee in exchange for recruiting other taxi drivers to pay the $10 fee to skip the taxi line," the Department of Justice alleges.
