Hacked highway sign: 'OMG The British R coming'
LUBBOCK, Texas – A hacked electronic highway sign in Lubbock carried an international message not seen much in centuries on this side of the pond. The sign Friday briefly flashed: "OMG The British R coming. They R watching you." KCBD-TV reported the electronic sign was in a construction area in southwest Lubbock.
The Texas Department of Transportation said the mobile sign belongs to a contractor.
A statement from Austin Bridge & Road says someone "with a questionable sense of humor" accessed the password on the message board.
The company said its portable sign that was hacked has since been removed, since a permanent exit sign has now been installed, and locks have been added to the portable version.
No word yet on the culprits.

They've done a few around here too. I think they are a bunch that get online and say .. hey lets all do this at the same time.
I know it's wrong and illegal but I have to admit that it makes me laugh when I see that happen! lol
I've seen the same thing a time or two when I've been on I 294 traveling into Chicago...It is pretty funny when it happens isn't it?
