SAN ANDREAS — In an unusual and alarming turn of events, drivers on the state highways were greeted with bizarre and inappropriate messages this morning as the highway’s digital sign system appears to have been hacked.
Motorists reported seeing messages ranging from humorous quips to concerning statements, including references to a “petition for Sgt. Chase justice.” The state Department of Transportation (DOT) has confirmed that the signs were compromised early this morning.
“We take this matter very seriously. These signs are crucial for ensuring road safety and providing real-time information to drivers,” a DOT spokesperson told Weazel News. “We are working swiftly to regain full control of the system and to ensure this does not happen again.”
The signs, typically used to display traffic updates, safety reminders, and road closures, were reportedly altered to display unapproved messages. While no accidents have been attributed to the incident so far, officials are urging drivers to remain vigilant and avoid paying attention to any unusual messages displayed on highway signs.
Law enforcement is investigating the breach and working closely with cybersecurity experts to trace the source of the hack. The mention of “Sgt. Chase justice” has raised questions about whether the hack was motivated by a specific agenda, though authorities have not confirmed any connections to ongoing events or cases.
“This act goes beyond a prank—it is dangerous and potentially life-threatening,” said a representative of the San Andreas Highway Patrol.
