North American Airports Hacked: Pro-Palestine and Anti-Trump Messages Displayed
Airports in North America were targeted by hackers this week, resulting in pro-Palestine and anti-Trump messages being broadcast through public address systems. The incidents, which occurred at airports in Pennsylvania and three locations in Canada, displayed messages such as “f**k Netanyahu and Trump” and “free, free Palestine,” as well as derogatory remarks about Donald Trump. The hacks reportedly exploited vulnerabilities in cloud-based public address systems, with authorities swiftly taking systems offline and launching investigations. While causing limited disruption, the incidents sparked varied online reactions, ranging from amusement to concern, with some users pointing out the potential for further, more harmful, incidents.
