Railway station Wi-Fi networks across the UK hit in cyberattack
A suspected cyberattack has caused disruption at railway stations across the UK, taking Wi-Fi networks offline at the height of the morning rush hours.
Nineteen stations were confirmed to be affected by Network Rail, including major interchanges such as London Euston, Manchester Piccadilly, Liverpool Lime Street, Birmingham New Street, Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central.
Users reported being confronted with a screen showing terror attacks in Europe when logging on to station Wi-Fi networks, but so far, no other issues have been detected.Wi-Fi down
“We are currently dealing with a cyber security incident affecting the public Wi-Fi at Network Rail’s managed stations”, a Network Rail spokesperson told the BBC, confirming networks were still down.
