    COLLINSVILLE, Ill. (AP) -- Hackers are messing with electronic road signs in some states, warning of zombies and raptors down the road. Traffic safety officials aren't amused.

    The latest breach came during Tuesday morning's rush hour near Collinsville, Ill., east of St. Louis. That's where hackers changed a sign along southbound Interstate 255 to read, "DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES."

    Similar pranks have been pulled in recent days near Indianapolis and in Austin, Texas.

    The Illinois Department of Transportation's Joe Gasaway worries that such pranks distract drivers from legitimate hazards down the road, perhaps endangering road crews.

    In Illinois, tampering with an official traffic control device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $250 fine.

    Media bullshit. It doesn't take a hacker to do this. The controls are in a lock box right by the sign and the box is rarely actually locked. Hackers, psssht. Anybody that can one finger type could do this.

    Dude, take that dress off, put down the scotch, and pay attention. Average Americans don't like to think. Passwords are easy to remember or never changed from default at all. Read and learn. And leave the bottle of scotch on your way out. Goddamn secret transvestites, always thinking they are fooling anybody...*mutter mutter*

    I think the little black dress, a simple strand of pearls and some black leather stilletos is quite judicial. BB73 tried to hit on me last time I wore it.
