There’s a story today about the US Emergency Alert System, a system that automatically alerts authorities about emergencies, being hacked in the States.
Apparently viewers of four local TV stations in Montana and Michigan had their programs interrupted to warn about dead bodies being re-animated and attacking the living. (Where’s my shotgun???)
The serious side to this is that important infrastructure needs to be securely maintained – otherwise is could be subject to pranks or much more serious abuse.
