PA systems, screens hacked with pro-Hamas messages at Kelowna, Victoria airports

Pro-Hamas Messages Disrupt Airports in Kelowna and Victoria

On Tuesday, October 14, flights at Kelowna and Victoria airports were delayed due to a cyber security incident.

Public address systems and screens were hacked, displaying pro-Hamas messages at both Kelowna International Airport (YLW) and Victoria International Airport (YYJ) between 5 p.m.

"Free Palestine" and cursing out U.S.

The messaging was visible and audible throughout the airports for about two minutes, according to a post on Kelowna Reddit.

The YLW team successfully removed the unauthorized messaging, restored flight information display screens, and continued working on restoring the PA system by 7 p.m.

The City of Kelowna stated that the cyber security incident was limited to a cloud-based third-party software provider.
