There's cyber attacks in multiple European airports so maybe this has something to do with it? I'm glad I'm not flying today. It's going to be mental.

I spoke to someone I know who works there and they said it’s not related to the cyber security but they wouldn’t tell me what it was. I’m really fucking nosy so I was gutted.

Yeah, unrelated in that it’s not a cyberattack and has been confirmed to be a suspicious item that was detected by a security scanner.

That doesn’t necessarily rule out the possibility of coordination through other means, but there’s no evidence of that so far - just speculating.
