Noi Bai Airport not hacked: authorityThe Northern Airport Authority has refuted claims made on social networking sites yesterday that the information technology system of Noi Bai International Airport was hacked. A faulty screen displaying colours and technical data in Noi Bai Airport yesterday afternoon. Their assumption that the airport’s IT system had been hacked immediately drew public attention, as it had just late last month when an alleged Chinese hacker group carried out serious cyber attacks on both Noi Bai and HCM City’s Tan Son Nhat International airport, the two largest airports of the country. However, Vu The Phiet, director of the Northern Airport Authority, said yesterday’s incident was not a cyber attack. Five out of 60 screens yesterday afternoon were affected by a problem in data transfer from computers to the screens, he said.
