Three Canadian airports hacked to display pro-Hamas messages

October 15, 2025

The flight-information screens and public-address systems at three Canadian and two U.S. airports were briefly hacked to broadcast a pro-Hamas message that heaped scorn upon Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Airports in Windsor, Ont., and in the B.C. cities of Kelowna and Victoria all grappled with the cyberattack Tuesday, according to Transport Canada. The federal regulator said Wednesday that it is working with police to ensure there was no impact to the safety and security of these facilities and to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring.

The agency referred questions about any investigations into the cybersecurity breach to the local police in these three cities.
