Texas Traffic Signs Hacked With Anti-Trump and Anti-Hillary Messages (hackread.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Someone is hacking the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) electronic message boards and displaying anti-Trump and anti-Hillary messages. For example, one message read "DONALD TRUMP IS A ... SHAPE SHIFTING LIZARD!" while the other read "HILLARY FOR PRISON." The hacker appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders, displaying "BERNIE FOR PRESIDENT" on the message boards. One of the messages read "FREE BARRETT BROWN," an imprisoned U.S. journalist and alleged unofficial spokesperson for Anonymous. Not all the messages have been political, however. In reference to an incident in which Zookeepers shot and killed a rare gorilla after a 3-year-old boy fell into its enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo, a message read "GORILLA DESERVED IT." The reports mention the defacing occurred a couple of weeks ago.
I've modified the message on one of those signed before. The box was unlocked and there was a manual inside with the default password for the device (which worked).
Yes, foolish human. We xenopilliaromorphs are greatly pleased at your choice in supporting our long term plans to silently replace the unintelligent growths your unsightly heads produce as part of our ultimate goal of enslaving your entire population.
The host body you refer to as "trump" has been most compliant with our deep compulsion techniques. We are pleased that you have determined our true origins, and yet still (wisely) accept our rule, by openly endorsing the candidacy of his "toupee." A number of our ethicists were concerned about the ethics of parasitizing a sentient species. Your willful cooperation pleases us.
As a friendly gesture, we shall tell you how to please us further: We find the more luxurient of earth hair care products most enjoyable, but dislike many earth styling methods. To curry our favor, use shampoos and conditioners rich in decadent natural oils, and free of parabens, silicones, and sulfates--Avoid the use of hair driers, and styling irons. Observe proper combing and grooming techniques to avoid breakage.
Do these things, and we shall reward you in the new order. Together, we shall make "america" great again.
