Airports across North America experienced an unexpected disruption this week after hackers blasted pro-Palestine and anti-Trump messages.

On Tuesday, the public address system at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania, as well as three across Canada (Kelowna International Airport, Victoria International Airport, and Windsor International Airport), were co-opted by the hackers, according to CNN.

The messages they played included “f**k Netanyahu and Trump” and “free, free Palestine,” as heard via a recording made at Harrisburg International.

    Oh man, if only there were some kind of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to help protect against this sort of thing…

      I have been really upset that this theoretical governing body had a good chunk of its theoretical work force let go under this fascist regime. If what comes from that is anti trump messaging hacks, then that would be such a wonderful turn of events. It won’t be the only thing, but it may be the best.
