Car park sign swears at residents
Hackers give Crawley drivers unsavoury advice
Rob Jones,
Computeractive 30 Oct 2006
Drivers in Crawley, West Sussex, got a shock one morning last week, after
digital signs for car parks in the town told them to "F*** Off".
The computer system controlling the signs had been hacked, and instead of
giving details on the number of spaces available in four of the town’s car
parks, they’d been changed to the less-than-subtle message. It was displayed on
all the town’s similar car park signs.
According to
The
Argus local newspaper, no complaints were received about the
messages. A council spokeswoman told the paper: “If hackers can get into
Pentagon computers then I am sure they would have no problem with ours.”
