A large-scale cyberattack hit the websites of Copenhagen Airport and Roskilde Airport.
Copenhagen Airport experienced "disruptions" on its website on Wednesday, with some users able to access the page while others could not, according to Copenhagen Airport's media and communications officer, Julie Boll.
If you wish to travel, you can use the airport app where travel information can be viewed, according to Ritsau. The websites of Midtjylland Airport and Roskilde Airport are not directly accessible.
A party claims responsibility for the cyberattack and states the reason.
The TV2 website states that the group that claimed responsibility for the cyberattacks in Sweden on February 14 is the same group behind the attacks on Danish airports, and for the same reason: burning the Quran.
The hacker group claimed responsibility on social media platform Telegram, posting a picture via an account called Anonymous Sudan of a plane about to crash over a desert on Wednesday, with the caption:
Danish airports were closed due to the burning of the Quran.
The image and text are followed by a long list of links to Danish airports such as:
Aalborg, Vestmerland Airport, Esbjerg Airport, Herning Airport, Midtjylland Airport, Hans Christian Andersen Airport, Billund Airport, Sønderborg Airport, Föing Airport, Aarhus Airport, Vamdorp Airport and Stonening Westjøland Airport.
The implementing body apologizes to innocent Danish citizens.
On Tuesday, the same account posted a picture showing a masked figure and wrote below the picture: “Well, unfortunately, the country we want to attack tomorrow is Denmark, because of the burning of the Quran. We apologize to the innocent citizens of Denmark for what will happen tomorrow. We hope you will be patient.”.
The same name appeared when the Swedish counterpart of DR, SVT, was hacked on February 14, with the Anonymous Sudan group also claiming that the attack was in response to the burning of the Quran.
