Airport PA and Display Systems Hacked at Four North American Hubs, Pro‑Palestinian Messages Played

Authorities cite a likely breach of third‑party cloud software as investigations continue in both countries.

Overview

  • Unauthorized recordings and on‑screen messages were broadcast at Harrisburg International in Pennsylvania and at the Canadian airports in Kelowna, Victoria and Windsor.
  • At Harrisburg, one boarding Delta flight was searched out of caution, no threats were found, and operations resumed after brief delays.
  • Kelowna reported intrusions on both flight‑information screens and the PA system, with staff resorting to megaphones until systems were restored.
  • Transport Canada is working with police, while U.S. officials including the FAA and TSA are coordinating inquiries; officials report no impact on flight safety.
  • Kelowna’s chief executive said the attack exploited a third‑party cloud platform used for audio and displays; attribution remains unconfirmed despite on‑screen and social claims by an account using the name Siberislam.
