Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."

You know, jokes like this aren’t funny.
Next time REAL zombies attack, people will just think it’s a prank.

That’s my city. Austin’s a great and weird place but I’m already way over this fad. Now that someone knows how to do it, everyone is doing it. And like aging hipster said, what about when the real zombies come?! Milla Jovovich probably won’t come, and we’ll all die. (Well, most. I’m stocked and ready)

You mean when the instructions on how to do this were posted on virtually EVERY tech blog & site known? Yeah, this isn’t that clever. Cute at best.

I’m really sick of this story being shoved down my throat again and again and again… on EVERY blog on the internet.
It was chuckle worthy weeks ago. Now it’s entering Urkel’s “Did I do that?”-level infamy in my mind.

neatorama has had repeats in the last few months, never before had i ever seen a repeat.

Well, it would help if the default password wasn’t DOTS, and that you can reset the password to DOTS by pressing a few keys. I mean, seriously, who’s the idiot who made these signs…

Wow, another quality post via Queue. Thank God there’s a way for people to post old news.

Someone definitely read the tutorial that was posted from neatorama and did this.

Christ almighty, way to over-react. You don’t have to read the article, dumbass.

@ DOJ – Depends on what type of outbreak you have. If it is a “rage” outbreak, then you had better put your track shoes on. If it just your standard “reports indicate that the previously dead are coming back to life.” then you can probably keep ahead of them.
As for me – I’ll just get into makeup and blend in.
Maybe I should submit a post to the Queue about people that over-react.
