00:00Hackers take over PA systems at several airports.

00:04You're standing in the terminal, earbuds in, trying to zone out before your flight boards.

00:09Suddenly, the airport intercom blares, free Palestine, and anti-Trump, anti-Israel rhetoric.

00:15This wasn't just one incident.

00:17There were multiple disruptions across numerous airports in one day.

00:22Passengers at four airports, including Harrisburg and Kelowna,

00:25were shocked by loudspeakers broadcasting unauthorized pro-Hamas messages.

00:30Videos revealed travelers' alarm as recordings echoed through terminals.

00:35In Kelowna, screens displayed pro-Hamas text, shocking North America with this terrorism-linked broadcast.

00:42Now, maybe you're thinking this was just a prank or a tech glitch.

00:45Hackers infiltrated airport audio and display networks, marking a serious cyber breach.

00:50Although unidentified, their actions raised significant concerns beyond politics.

00:56Because here's the part that should make you sit up a little straighter.

00:58If they can hijack an airport's PA system and public screens, what else can they access?

01:05Just this summer, the FBI confirmed a criminal group breached computer networks of major airlines in the U.S. and Canada.

01:12A month later, a massive software outage hit Europe, disrupting key check-in operations.

01:17This reveals a growing airport system vulnerability as tech increasingly relies on cloud networks.

01:24If hackers are already infiltrating, it's beyond a glitch.

01:27It's a national security threat.

01:29Flights were delayed, a plane searched, but the real concern is their access.

01:34In today's travel landscape, challenges abound, from TSA lines to cramped seating.

01:40Yet a new stressor looms, airport speakers broadcasting unauthorized messages.

01:46Airport networks rely on supposedly secure tech, yet vulnerabilities persist, highlighting last week's events as a successful test run.

01:53Airport networks are also available in the U.S. and Canada.
