20 stations managed by Network Rail were reportedly targeted in a Wi-Fi 'cyber security incident'
The Wi-Fi at Liverpool Lime Street Station has been hacked in a 'cyber security incident'. This evening, September 25, an investigation has been launched after the Wi-Fi network at all 20 stations managed by Network Rail were targeted in the incident. Anyone attempting to log on to the Wi-Fi network was met with a webpage headlined 'We love you, Europe'. The page contains information about terror incidents in the UK and abroad and appears to have an anti-Islamic message.
Other stations hit by the hack are Birmingham New Street, Glasgow Central, Leeds City, Manchester Piccadilly, Bristol Temple Meads, Edinburgh Waverley, Reading and Guildford. Eleven stations were targeted in London, including Euston and Victoria - reports the Manchester Evening News. The Manchester Evening News understands British Transport Police are investigating the issue. Network Rail confirmed the Wi-Fi services were suspended as enquiries take place.
