LOOMIS, California: A prankster is changing the message on an electronic traffic warning sign in California.
The sign is supposed to tell people that a road will be closed for pipeline construction.
Instead, it read, “Smoke Weed Everyday” last week. The Sacramento Bee reports that it has also read, “Caution Loose Gorilla!“
Placer County Water Agency Senior Engineer Tony Firenzi told the newspaper it took skill to change the message. The unknown hacker needed a keyboard and had to bypass some systems.
