PA Systems and Screens Hacked at Kelowna and Victoria Airports
On Tuesday, October 14, some flights at Kelowna and Victoria airports were delayed due to a hacking incident.
The incident occurred between 5 p.m. at both the Kelowna International Airport (YLW) and Victoria International Airport (YYJ), where pro-Hamas messages were displayed on screens and heard through the public address systems.
"The YLW team has successfully removed the unauthorized messaging," said the airport in a press release.
According to a post on Kelowna Reddit, the messaging was visible for about two minutes and included phrases such as "Free Palestine" and curses against the U.S.
The City of Kelowna stated that the cybersecurity incident was limited to a cloud-based third-party software provider.
The airport restored its flight information display screens and worked on restoring the PA system.
