Toronto Pearson Airport X Account Hacked by Cryptocurrency Ads

A brief security incident at Toronto Pearson Airport's X account on Friday left travelers puzzled when cryptocurrency ads appeared on the airport's social media feed.

The usual updates and flight statuses were replaced by promotions for a specific cryptocurrency coin, causing confusion among passengers who checked the account.

According to the Greater Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA), the issue was isolated to the X account and did not impact airport operations or security.

The GTAA stated that the incident had no impact on passenger services, security, or airport systems, and that it has resolved the issue.
