Kelowna Airport Thwarts Pro-Hamas Hacker
The City of Kelowna has provided details about the hacking of airport systems on Tuesday.
The hijacking of the terminal's flight information screens and PA system was stopped "within a matter of minutes."
All affected systems were isolated and verified before being restored late last night.
Airport systems are segregated to protect cyber security incidents from migrating from one network to another.
- The cyber security incident was limited to a cloud-based third party software provider.
- A threat assessment was carried out by the RCMP and Transport Canada.
The hacker's "messaging" – a mix of anti-Israel, pro-Hamas and jihadist sentiment – was "not deemed to be a direct threat towards the travelling public."
Author's summary: Kelowna airport quickly stopped a pro-Hamas hacker.
