Airports across North America experienced an unexpected disruption this week after hackers blasted pro-Palestine and anti-Trump messages.
On Tuesday, the public address system at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania, as well as three across Canada (Kelowna International Airport, Victoria International Airport, and Windsor International Airport), were co-opted by the hackers, according to CNN.
The messages they played included “f**k Netanyahu and Trump” and “free, free Palestine,” as heard via a recording made at Harrisburg International.

Apparently “all across North America” means one in the US and 3 in Canada. Technically true, I suppose.
Me’s all across the globe share your observation.
right. “hacked”.
Anon used to be all over this shit. It’s good to see hacktivism again.
“Anonymous” is not an organized group. It can be literally anyone.
Nope sorry you need a mask licensed by Warner Brothers.
Don’t be ridiculous, anonymous is just banksy
Well its very loosely organized group. But i feel like anons get credited less for these things than they used to be, so saying they are less active is not wrong.
I remember when they hacked an epilepsy website and made it flashing colours.
I remember the “bleach and ammonia diamonds”. Fucked up
Oh man, if only there were some kind of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to help protect against this sort of thing…
I have been really upset that this theoretical governing body had a good chunk of its theoretical work force let go under this fascist regime. If what comes from that is anti trump messaging hacks, then that would be such a wonderful turn of events. It won’t be the only thing, but it may be the best.
Or some kind of National Instituion of Standards and Technology
It’s probably closer to legality than the Executive branch ordering presidency propaganda there.
Gotta love how quickly the security theater of the TSA disappears as soon as a few tech savy folk get angry. Realll secure airport ya have there.
I was thinking this is more of a prank than a security threat, but you could actually cause serious problems with malicious announcements over the PA.
I hope it was an external prank. This is too likely an internal job, which narrows the list if suspects a lot
Sometimes all the hacking you really need is to notice the sticky note on an employees desk has the security wifi password written on it.
Try the adress of the building
There’s a lot of angry developers that have been recently laid off. I’m not surprised at all.
I mean, I love that this happened, but it was at 1 minor US airport and 3 minor Canadian airports (non-TSA). From the article this doesn’t seem like a widespread thing, unfortunately.
Half the message was self promotion as well.
Definately antifa…
That guy is even worse than the evil hacker 4chan.
Fuck yeah
If you can’t beat them shame them
Hah
Anyone got a transcript?
