"Police Are Probing a Cyberattack on Wi-Fi Networks at UK Train Stations"

U.K. transport officials and police recently announced they are investigating a “cybersecurity incident” that hit the public Wi-Fi networks at the country’s biggest railway stations.  Passengers trying to log onto the Wi-Fi at stations including Manchester Piccadilly, Birmingham New Street, and 11 London terminuses on Wednesday evening were met by a page reading “We love you, Europe,” followed by an anti-Islam message listing a series of terror attacks.  Network Rail, which manages the stations, said the Wi-Fi had been switched off and no passenger data was taken.  British Transport Police are investigating the incident.  The incident follows a more disruptive cyberattack in early September on Transport for London, which runs the capital’s bus, subway, and suburban train system.
