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.
The public address systems and screens at both Kelowna International Airport (YLW) and Victoria International Airport (YYJ) were hacked, displaying pro-Hamas messages.
"The YLW team has successfully removed the unauthorized messaging," said the airport in a press release.
The incident started around 5 p.m. and the messaging was visible and audible throughout the airports for about two minutes, with messages including "Free Palestine" and cursing out the U.S.
The City of Kelowna stated that the incident was limited to a cloud-based third-party software provider.
The airport has restored its flight information display screens and is working to restore the PA system.
