NEW YORK -- The websites for LaGuardia Airport and other major U.S. airports went down overnight in an apparent cyberattack. 

According to the Port Authority, something they're calling a "denial of service" incident resulted in delays accessing the LaGuardia website at around 3 a.m. Monday. 

The problem was fixed in about 15 minutes and did not impact operations. 

Atlanta, Los Angeles and Chicago airports also reported having website issues. 

The attacks came after a group of pro-Russian hackers called for disruptions.
