Hackers warn world about British

From: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new ... ld-british

TEXAS was a little far from the action when it came to the American Revolution, but it seems that hackers in the State are determined to make sure that old wounds are picked over.

A hacked electronic highway sign in northwestern Texas carried the warning "OMG The British R coming. They R watching you."

While we think most of America's problems would have been solved if it had not listened to French backed terrorists in the 18th century, we doubt whether Scottish Prime Minister Gordon Brown is likely to invade Texas. British soldiers would be a lot happier to fight in a more civilised place, such as Afghanistan, than go to Texas.

The hacker accessed the password on the message board to write the warning. The board has since been removed. µ

I haven't heard about the british are coming on the highway sign. The one I read about last week said something like "Caution, zombies ahead".
