Four North American Airports Hit by PA System Hacks Broadcasting Pro-Palestinian Messages

Investigations in the U.S. and Canada are probing third-party cloud audio and display systems as the likely entry point.

Overview

  • Incidents were confirmed at Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) and at Canada’s Kelowna, Victoria and Windsor airports, with some flight information screens also altered.
  • Passenger videos and airport statements describe messages that praised Hamas and used profanity toward President Donald Trump and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • Affected airports shut down compromised systems; a boarding aircraft in Harrisburg was searched as a precaution and departed after no issues were found.
  • FAA, DOT, FBI, Transport Canada, RCMP and local police are investigating, and no group has claimed responsibility.
  • Airports report systems restored and no threats to aviation safety, underscoring vulnerabilities in widely used cloud-based PA and display services.
