And as the signs are often owned and operated by private contractors doing the road work, there’s often little government transportation officials can do to prevent the hacking.
“This is fairly common,” said John Mueller, the vice president for sales at ADDCO, the Minnesota-based manufacturer of the Arlington road sign that was commandeered for the Fortnite reference. “There is a default password. If it has not been changed, it has been posted on the internet.”
This is probably real, but it wasn't done by any officials. Or at least that they'll admit. Maybe they did it themselves, but they'll just say "Those damn hackers again..."
In MA here, I don't doubt it, keep seeing more & more graffiti like this too. For ME, MA, NH, & VT, solid blue towns are fairly few. (Augusta ME & Portland, Boston MA & Brookline, Cambridge, Newton, Cape (retired MA state .gov hacks), Concord NH & UNH / Rt. 93 towns (MA -> NH exodus but commute to MA), Burlington VT, & Montpelier. Liberal progressive fucks always cluster up like ants.
Then you have purple towns which don't lean hard left and sometimes vote right. Finally solid red towns & counties, there are still Trump signs & flags up in those. But it's the density of the liberal enclaves and the the purple towns that keep them in power. Even though (in MA anyway) independents (no party reg) outnumber democrats. That number has been growing for 20 years years, the democrat party is shrinking. MA won't turn red anytime soon but the last 2 years have shaken many purple voters out of their sleep as far as what democrats are doing.
That can’t be real, or someone hacked the system. Either way I condone that message….
It's insanely easy to hack those road signs. Insanely.
