Unauthorized intrusions hit public‑address and information‑display systems at four North American airports — three in Canada (including Kelowna and Victoria) and Harrisburg International in the U.S. — where recorded messages praising Hamas and criticizing Donald Trump were aired. Investigations are underway; a security expert warned the breach could have been worse.

Briefing
Four airports were affected (three in Canada, one in the U.S.), with pro‑Hamas and anti‑Trump recordings broadcast over PA and display systems — an immediate operational and passenger‑experience disruption.
The incidents show how non‑critical OT/IT systems (PA, information displays) can be exploited to create safety, security and reputational risk; a security expert said the breach "could have been much worse."
This follows a recent cyberattack targeting check‑in and boarding systems that knocked out digital processing at Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg and Brussels, illustrating how airport system compromises can cascade into wider operational disruption.
