Hacked Traffic Sign: Zombies In Area! Run!

This has gotta be one of the most awesome prank I’ve seen so far. A traffic sign in Austin was hacked by vandals and read: “The end is near! Caution! Zombies ahead! ….”

The vandals even reset the password of the computer so that the city could not easily change the sign. The sign’s humorous warning stayed up for several hours before the manufacturer of the computer could reset the password.

Its just funny to hear that drivers slowed down or went back to check out the traffic sign. What if they was really a zombie outbreak? LOL

Anyway, i-hacked demostrated on its website how simple it was to hack these programmable traffic signs.

    For those who thought it was bad for the safety of drivers…they have no sense of humor! I thought this was absolutely hilarious “Nazi Zombies ahead, Run for Cold Climates!”. Brilliant! Also, considering they were able to crack the password and reset it, it also gives reason for applaud!
