Hackers took over two pedestrian crosswalks in Denver last week, programming them to say “The Walk signal is on. Fuck Trump” and “The Walk signal is on. Trump murders children.” The programming is password protected, but apparently the city used the default password, akin to leaving it at “Password123”.

The city verified the incidents and has programmed the walk signals back to the original “The Walk signal is on.” No word on whether they changed the password.

That's nothing compared to Stryker being hacked a couple weeks ago.

...of course, it's blamed on Iran.

Iran appears to have conducted a significant cyberattack against a U.S. company, a first since the war started

An Iran-linked hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a medical tech company in what appears to be the first significant instance of Iran’s hacking an American company since the start of the war between the countries.

Stryker says it’s restoring systems after pro-Iran hackers wiped thousands of employee devices

Oh no, that one is actually damaging.

The one in Denver is just stupid - and funny.

I have been long Stryker for quite a while. Wondered why the stock was being pounded. Nothing on the wire right then. A few hours later, I started seeing reports about the hacking.
