Indiana radio station hacked by Anonymous

Posted on July 16, 2015 by Dissent

WIVB reports:

An Indiana radio station was apparently hacked Sunday evening.

If you were tuning in to WXXR 97.3 in Terre Haute, you might have heard a message from “Anonymous.”

“Anonymous” is an activist group that hacks websites, to express their views and messages.

Around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, the FM signal was intercepted and a broadcast message intended for the American people played. It broadcasted for 30 minutes, then returned to the music playlist. Station officials say, they’re just thankful the music was turned back on.

Not to be too flip about what is obviously a concerning hack, but if Anonymous can hack the media, can they at least try to interrupt all the inane coverage of Donald Trump? #AskingForAFriend
