Hackers breach airport PA systems with pro-Hamas, anti-Trump messages

HARRISBURG, PA. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) – Hackers appear to have breached public address systems at four airports across North America, broadcasting unauthorized and profanity-laced messages that praised Hamas and attacked both President Trump and Israel’s prime minister.

Officials say the incidents occurred Tuesday at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania, two international airports in British Columbia, and Windsor International Airport in Ontario.

The U.S. Transportation Secretary says the FAA is working closely with Harrisburg airport officials to investigate the breach.

The travel industry has recently faced a rise in cyberattacks, many of which have caused significant travel disruptions.
