Last night, there was a terrorist attack at three different Canadian airports. The mainstream media is barely even talking about it. Let s take a look at this scary incident, and why we should be worried about it
00:01:11.480Hacked by New Earth Long Live Free Palestine.
00:01:15.300Operations at Kelowna International Airport are back to normal after a Tuesday hacking incident saw unauthorized pro-Hamas messages attacking U.S. President Donald Trump played over the public address systems and on video cameras.
00:01:27.980We're still investigating this further, but we know it came from a third-party software vendor, a supplier to the airport that feeds into our flight information system and our PA system.
00:01:37.940The attack was done through a cloud-based system, so it wasn't someone specifically being at the airport and initiating the broadcast.
00:01:44.680Security protocols fell into place quickly and limited any potential threat exposure to other systems.
00:01:49.960Transport Canada is working closely with federal security partners, including law enforcement, to ensure there are no impacts on the safety and security of airport operations and to mitigate disruption from similar incidents in the future.
00:02:02.120Transport Canada will also continue to work with air operators to mitigate the potential consequences of any incident, cybernetics-related or otherwise, on transportation safety, security, and operational efficiency.
00:02:12.060The air travel industry has been dealing with an onslaught of cyber attacks that have caused disruptions for customers and grounded some of the world's largest airports to a halt.
00:02:19.960In June, a notorious cybercriminal group breached the computer networks in multiple airlines in Canada and the United States.
00:02:26.280Last month, hackers knocked out a passenger check-in system, CyberIslam, claimed responsibility for the hacks, and on-screen messages, while social media accounts under the name shared videos of the incidents.
00:02:36.420Now, while the political message did not contain threats against anyone, Samadar said airport staff continue to work with the RCMP because the incident was criminal and can be prosecuted under the Aeronautics Act.
00:02:49.200Three Canadian airports were hit by a cyberattack, and there was also a cyberattack at an airport in Pennsylvania.
00:02:56.140Now, nobody was hurt or killed, but that doesn't make it any less scary.
00:03:00.180Now, to speculate, I believe whoever did this was testing our security systems, and they're probably planning an even larger attack in the future.
00:05:36.140Mr. Speaker, if I start correcting the Honourable Leader of the Opposition on the facts, we'll be here all day.
00:05:48.220The fact of the matter is the listing of an organization as a terrorist organization is actually a meticulous process
00:05:55.480led by intelligence and security agencies and carefully calibrated to do no harm to Canadians or Canadian military members serving overseas.
00:06:05.460We will continue to take all measures to hold the murderous regime in Iran to account.
00:06:10.860We will continue to stand with the community.
00:06:12.540We will stand against anyone who's attempting to harm or intimidate Canadians on Canadian soil.
