Local Emergency Alert System Hacked, Warns Dead Rising From Graves

Posted by Unknown on from the brains-delicious-brains dept.

First time accepted submitter Rawlsian writes "Great Falls, Montana, television station KRTC issued a denial of an Emergency Alert System report that 'dead bodies are rising from their graves.' The denial surmises that 'someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System...This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency.'"
