Some hilarious news this morning as transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, "Zombies Ahead," reports Fox news. Chris Lippincott, director of media relations for the Texas Department of Transportation, confirmed that a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street, near the University of Texas at Austin, was hacked into during the early hours of January 19. You can check it out beyond the break.

I'm just surprised they didn't try to blame it on President Obama.

That's great. I got to meet a lot of people from the Austin cinema scene in September. I am not at all surprised that this happened there. They're just that 'fantastic' kind of group.
