In February 2013, a Montana TV station was interrupted with a real-seeming emergency broadcast system update that bodies were rising from their graves, and they were considered extremely dangerous. A few people called the police to verify if the news was true. The TV station itself said that the message didn't originate from them, and officials never really figured out who the mysterious hoaxers were, just that they orginated from some "overseas source." Here's the admittedly convincing emergency alert.

The unfortunate thing about most scammer trolling stories is that even though the scammer might waste some time or look like an idiot, they're never really punished for their malicious behavior. This time around, the scammer gets the tables turned on him and actually loses something out of the deal. Oh, the call is recorded too. The real action happens near the end of the recording.
The virtual world was stormed by unexpected silence, when an angry ex-Twitter employee hacked and deactivated Donald Trump's Twitter account as his departing act (or gift?). Naturally, rumors ran wild over who might've done such a thing; but DJ Trump himself decided to finally break his silence on the matter, and smoothly segue from there into nothing short of a tweet storm to compensate for the momentary silence on his end.
Now that's what I call "Fake News."
Earlier today, ABC News' and Good Morning America's Twitters account were hacked, which led to an array of dickish posts that did everything from proclaim the love of Donald Trump to claiming that Tyler, the Creator was dead. There's something really creepy and off putting when things like this happen, like it's weird to see the word "bro" being tweeted from a news organization.
This is just crazy. Please make more secure passwords, media.
McDonald's is still reportedly looking into the source of the hack, but in the meanwhile I think it's safe to assume we can all agree that whoever seized the reins had it out for Mr. DJ Trump in a big way. Only thing that could've improved the disruptive, unexpected tweet was if we'd gotten some sort of Twitter war between the two. Here's to hoping that next time we're so lucky.
