Hacker Changes Seattle Road Sign to Say 'Impeach the Bastard"

A hacker broke into an electronic road sign in Seattle on Wednesday, changing the message to read “Impeach the Bastard.”

The Seattle Department of Transportation said the sign was rented to the contractor National Barricade, and a spokesperson for the company said someone had hacked the sign’s system early Wednesday morning to change the message, local news station Q13 reports.

The sign was changed back to its initial traffic message within a few hours, and additional locks were put in place to prevent another hacking incident, the station reports.

The hack comes a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced the House would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump amid scrutiny in recent days over reports that Trump urged Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
