Some
local station in Montana got hacked, so its Emergency Alert System went on. The
message displayed on the air was, “the bodies of the dead are rising from their
graves and attacking the living.”
Because
of multiple copyrights involved, and because the video might get yanked off of
YouTube at any moment, I won’t embed the video. The link is:

Obviously,
this could be an inside job. Or, if the default password for such systems is “password”
and nobody changes it, that makes it vulnerable. This was a gag, but what if a
terrorist group gave false directions to people that all is well after a terror
attack, or instructed people to gather at a certain public building, and then
set off a bomb there?
As
a nice touch, the last message was, “This station will now cease transmission, so
please use your battery-powered radio.”
Oh my goodness! That was epic. Holy cow! I can't stop laughing. Oh Montanta, what would we do without you?
