Beirut Airport Cyberattack Targets Hezbollah

On Jan. 7, attackers compromised flight information display systems at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport, posting anti-Hezbollah and anti-Iran messages and reportedly disrupting the baggage handling system; a group named "Soldiers of God" was cited by the messages but denied involvement, while local sources speculated possible Israeli involvement. Security experts warned that airport display systems running Windows apps are frequently insecure and easily defaced, and noted that more disruptive manipulations (e.g., swapping gate information) could cause major operational chaos.
