A 36-year-old man, John Andreas Wik, has been charged in connection with a cyber attack on public wi-fi at 19 UK railway stations. Shortly after users connected to the public network, they received disturbing messages referencing past terror attacks, prompting Network Rail to suspend services while investigations occurred. The British Transport Police reported the incident involved material that 'intended to incite religious hatred'. The cyber attack raised concerns over the safety of public wi-fi, which is operated by a third party, leading to widespread disruption across major UK rail stations. Wik will appear in court on April 11.
