Major UK stations targeted in 'cyber security incident'

Manchester Piccadilly and other UK stations have been hacked in a "cyber security incident."

An investigation has been launched after the Wi-Fi given to the 20 stations managed by Network Rail were targeted. People who attempted to log into Network Rail's service were met with a webpage that was headlined "we love you, Europe."

The page contained information about several terror incidents in the UK as well as others abroad and appeared to have Islamophobic messages. The incident at Manchester Piccadilly station was similar to ones at 11 others, including London Euston.
