    EAS Zombie Alert in MT

    Hackers got into the EAS system on KRTV in Great Falls MT & issued a Zombie Alert.

    "Well, there's no problem. If you have a gun, shoot 'em in the head. That's a sure way to kill 'em. If you don't, get yourself a club or a torch. Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy. "
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    HA! Looks like EAS has security issues. Funny thing, EAS spreads an alert the same way as APRS using receivers tuned to the originating station and stations receiving it also broadcast it. Other stations monitoring them broadcast and relay it each in turn over a wide area.

    I might be movin' to Montana soon
    Just to raise me up a crop of zombies
    Raisin' 'em up
    Waxin' 'em down
    In little white boxes
    I can sell uptown
    By myself I wouldn't
    Have no boss,
    But I'd be raisin' my lonely zombie hoss.

    BRAAAAAINS!

    EAS is horrid. I truly hope the government doesn't think they can actually rely on it for disseminating any kind of real emergency information outside of the occasional bad weather alert.

    With all the changes over the last few years that morphed the EBS into EAS... I wonder sometimes if EAS is more for show, so that there is the appearance of doing something while nothing useful actually occurs.

    Wait... this is sponsored by the government. I wonder no more.

    Dolores O. rules. When this song first came out it was interesting to listen to the commentary of various area radio DJs, most of whom had absolutely no clue about The Troubles.
