Can’t they do fingerprinting, then fingerprint local church members?
Bless. No doubt the locals will prefer to believe it was a Sign From Above.
They’ll be lining up the sacrifices and chanting at that thing all weekend now
Vile. The work of the faithful.
How would anyone other than an employee get access, if there was no break in?
Quite easily, I imagine. With the best will in the world, it’s impossible to make this sort of device secure device if it’s going to be left unattended. And in practice, such devices are not usually designed to be especially secure. The theory goes that if someone really wants to hack into it, they probably will anyway. The only question is how much physical damage they cause in the process.
I assumed the computer control is in an office somewhere.
Whoever did that needs to get some counselling. How severe must their hate issues be that they feel compelled to hack a traffic sign? I’d guess they’re burning with hate inside. Or maybe they’re just idiots with the humour level of eight year olds.
http://www.towleroad.com is a wonderful website.
You can read ALL Pink News’s US related stories on that website the day BEFORE they appear on here.
Excellent. Then you away over there and then those of those who don’t seem to have an issue with PN won’t have to put up with all your pointless sniping at PN. It’s a win win
I like Pink News when it comes to its non-US stories.
It is a very good resource for UK stories.
I just don’t understand why it has a relentless need to ‘borrow’ any and every sort of US story irrespective of whether it’s relevant or not.
While I am sure PN does this to attract US readers and advertisers, surely it realises that printing stories 24 hours after they have appeared on http://www.towleroad.com is a bit redundant. Especially when the stories have absolutely zero relevance to its UK audience.
Sounds like an inside job to me, after all how many people would know how to hack a dot matrix sign on a motorway, let alone access one?
Those things are so easy to access and reprogram. Also, there’s no shortage of instructions on the interwebs on how to go about it. I hacked into one a few years ago to send birthday wishes to my boyfriend. Unfortunately he took a different route that morning on account of the roadworks.
I stand corrected!
It wasn’t a hacker. It was God.
Zeus hates electric lights.
With his thunder bolt, only Zeus should be allowed to play with electricity.
How pathetic! These zealots are definately fighting a losing battle and are prepared to interfere with traffic signs in their lost cause. How would they feel if they managed to cause a road traffic accident with their juvenile behaviour.
Cowardly KKK type tactics really isn’t it, whether it’s an anonymous hacker or someone hiding under a white hood, if you replace “gays” with “blacks” or a glowing traffic sign with a burning cross.
So often faith = ignorance and hate.
I surprised the average religious fundie actually has the intelligence to hack into this sign.
In Utah I think the Mormon church pretty much has control of the police force, I doubt it was anything as sophisticated as hacking required.
his oort of device has only rudimentary security and even that is routinely ignored. usually stored in sheds with no security to call this “hacking” is an insult to any decent hacker. At most “hacking” in this case would have entailed using the default password if there was one, and that would probably be 12 etc. As for reprogramming, not beyond any five year old with a keyboard.
As for the message, ….how can someone who can’t even prove the existence of this wholly imaginary “god” know what this “god” hates or not. Perhaps he/she/it has evolved since the last time this was brought to his/her/its attention… … …
