Agreed, this is a terrible headline designed exclusively for clicks.

> "It's an inconvenience," the source said.

How wildly irresponsible of the editor who came up with this headline.

> Jamming attacks like the one seen Monday morning are highly visible but largely superficial and often temporary

Gee, I wonder why these superficial attacks are so visible, ABC...

Every article about "cyber" is fundamentally fearmongering, because they incorrectly analogize to the physical world where security is outsourced to an ambient third party (post facto law enforcement), implying an attacker is the purely responsible party. In digital reality, this headline would be more appropriate as "Airline website insecurities taken advantage of by Russia to disrupt business". The focus should be on the irresponsible duct-tape-and-string operations these businesses are running, rather than the people half a world a way sweet talking the computers into misbehaving.

Or they just don't understand the difference between a DDoS on a website and an actual, effective cyberattack on an airport.

Never assume malice etc

There's some irony that this is right after John Oliver did a whole episode on media fear mongering and the result of which is people thinking crime is increasing and their safety is decreasing.
