Mass cyber attack in UK

Nineteen major railway stations across Britain including ten in London have been hit by a major cyber attack impacting wi-fi systems for passengers.

Network Rail confirmed London Euston, Manchester Piccadilly, Liverpool Lime Street, Birmingham New Street and Glasgow Central were among those impacted.

British Transport Police has launched an investigation after travellers logging into the wi-fi at stations have reported seeing a message about terror attacks in Europe.

Wi-fi at the affected stations is controlled by a third-party provider called Telent, and MailOnline understands other organisations have also been impacted by the attack.

The wifi webpage after the hack said 'We love you, Europe' and contained information about terror attacks, according to the Manchester Evening News"
