Overview

• At Harrisburg International Airport, an unauthorized user played a political recording over the public address system that included “Free Palestine” and profane attacks on President Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu; staff shut the system off, searched a boarding aircraft, found no issues, and the flight departed safely.
• Kelowna International Airport reported a third party accessed its flight information displays and speakers to push pro-Hamas messages; two flights were delayed for about two and four hours before systems were secured and operations returned to normal.
• Airport officials removed the unauthorized content and restored screens, and Kelowna’s chief executive said the breach was contained to public information systems with no impact on other airport or aviation networks.
• Police investigations are underway, with Kelowna notifying Transport Canada and the federal cybersecurity center and the RCMP assessing no threat, while Harrisburg airport police review the incident.
• The breaches were documented by passenger videos and photos and occur during a year of mounting aviation cyber activity, including FBI-reported airline network intrusions in June and a recent outage that crippled European check-in systems.
