Unauthorized Messages Broadcast After Airport Display and PA System Breach at Multiple North American Airports
INCIDENT
A cybersecurity breach affecting airport terminal systems occurred at multiple airports in Canada and the United States. The unauthorized actors gained access to public information display screens and public address (PA) systems, broadcasting pro‑Hamas and anti‑Trump/anti‑Israeli messages. Some flights at Kelowna were delayed as a result of the incident. Other airports reported little to no impact on scheduled flights or passenger safety. Normal operations resumed swiftly after systems were restored.
A group calling itself “Siberislam” claimed responsibility for the hacks in the onscreen messages, while social media accounts under that name shared videos of the incidents.
