I wonder how many people watching the Steve Wilkos show were freaked out.

We weren't watching Steve Wilko show but it was on ABC. I couldn't believe what I heard. Husband & I just looked at each other dumb founded. All we could do was laugh.

I see some one else posted about this. Looks like it hit the Marquette, MI channels. (dave B)

If these guys get caught, its gonna be bad for them. They are messing with the FCC, EAS, and the Dept of Homeland Security.

This was on the radio this morning, sounds as if several locations in the US were hacked. They said that the hackers got in by figuring out the backup password to the main password. Do not use 12345 or the word Password as a password, these are the most comon passwords that hackers try first.

BAD! Are you kidding its probably their big break, to get out of moms basement! The Government will make a big deal about getting them and then quietly put them on the payroll to stop people like themselves in the future.

That just a guess, but I sure its happened.
