Train stations have been targeted in a suspected cyber attack bearing a chilling terror message in a major security breach.
Brits trying to access wi-fi services at a number of rail hubs were met with a webpage headlined “We love you, Europe” and carrying information about terror incidents in the UK and abroad in an apparent an anti-Islamic message.
It is believed 11 stations have been targeted, including Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, London Victoria and London Euston.
Glasgow Central, Leeds City, Liverpool Lime Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Edinburgh Waverley, Reading and Guildford have also been impacted, according to reports.
A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We are currently dealing with a cyber security incident affecting the public wi-fi at Network Rail’s managed stations.
“This service is provided via a third party and has been suspended while an investigation is underway.”
British Transport Police has been approached for comment.
Reports of the apparent cyber attack come on the day an executive at cybersecurity company CrowdStrike apologised to the US Congress for sparking a global technology outage in July.
That incident led some UK train operators to cancel services and affected station display screens, sparking travel chaos.
Transport for London (TfL), the National Crime Agency and National Cyber Security Centre launched an investigation earlier this month after customers’ data was hacked.
TfL said sort codes and bank account details for around 5,000 customers could have been accessed by hackers amid an “ongoing cyber security incident”.
A boy of 17 was arrested in Walsall, West Midlands, on September 5 after the cyber attack started four days earlier.
