Islamophobic cyber hack hits rail stations

A CYBER hack on the public wifi of Britain’s most popular rail stations replaced the landing page for commuters accessing the internet with an Islamophobic message on Wednesday.

Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, Edinburgh Waverley, Glasgow Central and 10 stations in London were among those affected by the incident, which showed messages about terror attacks in Europe to commuters who tried to log on.

The British Transport Police described the messaging as Islamophobic and said it was investigating the crime.
