Pro-Palestinian hackers have gained access to the public address systems of
American and Canadian airports. They broadcast anti-Trump messages and praised
Hamas, among other things.
 
This happened at the airports in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Kelowna and
Victoria, British Columbia; and Windsor, Ontario, according to local media.
The incidents were also shown in videos on social media.
 
In addition to anti-Trump messages, there were also critical remarks about
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. In Kelowna, an information screen also
displayed messages praising Hamas' Palestinian fighters in Gaza.
 
A traveler reported on CNN that airport staff used a megaphone to broadcast
information about departing flights, while the loudspeakers blared "Free
Palestine.
 
Kelowna Airport released a statement on Wednesday: "The cybersecurity incident
was limited to a third-party cloud-based software provider. The airport's
systems are segregated to prevent cyberattacks from spreading from one network
to another."
 
The displayed messages were not considered a direct threat to the traveling
public. However, delays were reported.
