Euston and Victoria are among the London hubs affected by “cybersecurity incident”

In London train stations such as Euston and Victoria, the Wi-Fi was hacked in a “cybersecurity incident”.

Police are investigating an attack on the Wi-Fi networks at 19 train stations operated by Network Rail across the UK.

A Network Rail spokesperson said: “We are currently dealing with a cybersecurity incident affecting public Wi-Fi at stations managed by Network Rail. This service is provided via a third party provider and has been suspended while the investigation is ongoing.”

The Manchester Evening News reported that people who logged onto the Wi-Fi were directed to a website containing details of terrorist attacks in the UK and abroad.

The Wi-Fi service at the affected stations was interrupted during the night from Wednesday to Thursday and was still not accessible on Thursday morning.

According to reports, eleven train stations in London were affected by the hack.

Other stations affected by the hacking attack include Birmingham New Street, Glasgow Central, Leeds City, Liverpool Lime Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Edinburgh Waverley, Reading and Guildford, the Manchester Evening News reported.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: “We are aware of a cyber-attack affecting some Network Rail Wi-Fi services, which was reported to us at around 5.03pm today (25 September). We are working with Network Rail to investigate the incident.”
