Two local television stations say hackers broke into their emergency alert system with warning Monday, zombie messages. Along with a crawl Strip, an audio message said "dead rise from their graves" and "attacking the life."
Posts by rides on public and WNMU WBUP station. Two Mountain stations also were hit.
WNMU General Manger Eric Smith says police have determined the origin is not local and may be from another country. He was not aware of any arrests and says that equipment changes have been made to prevent future incidents.
The Michigan Association of Broadcasters said its members about changes to avoid hacking. Association President Karole White says it is the first violation of the emergency system that is aware of since its inception in 1940.
