A quite concerning story here as anti-Israel hackers took over the PA systems at four North American airports.
[Warning: Language]
The airports that were allegedly targeted included Kelowna International Airport and Victoria International Airport in British Columbia, Windsor International Airport in Ontario, and Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania.
According to Transport Canada, which spoke with CNN, they are 'working closely with federal security partners, including law enforcement, to ensure there were no impacts on the safety and security of airport operations, and to mitigate disruption from similar incidents in the future.'
The video above shows Harrisburg International in Pennsylvania where, "an unauthorized user gained access to the airport PA system and played an unauthorized recorded message."

Gotta give you a little more context from CNN:
The breaches come as the air travel industry has been dealing with an onslaught of cyberattacks that have caused disruptions for customers and ground some of the world's largest airports to a halt. In June, a notorious cybercriminal group breached the computer networks of multiple airlines in the US and Canada, according to the FBI. And last month, hackers knocked out a passenger check-in system, causing long delays, cancellations and chaos at airports across Europe.
The words of one passenger in Pennsylvania:
The real question I have is, if they hack the paging system in an international airport, what else are they tunneling into?
