Hacker Suspected After Every Emergency Siren in Dallas Rings Out in Prank

The search is underway for a hacker who caused panic in Dallas after 156 emergency sirens were heard going off over the weekend. It began at 11:42 p.m. Friday as the sirens, which warn about approaching tornadoes, went off. However, there was no inclement weather or tornadoes headed to the area. Some even feared it might be a terrorist attack coming on the heels of the U.S. missile launch against Syria. The sirens were shut off and then turned back on more than a dozen times during the night. #InsideEdition

News: “Residents panicked and believed we were under nuclear attack.”

Residents: “Stupid sirens, I’m trying to get a tight 10 hours of sleep.”

Former FBI agent: "Um it can be like the bad guys, or a hacker testing those kind things... ya know?"

It took them 2 hours to realize they can just shut down the sirens.

The Guy who pulled this stunt probably has a cushy well-paying job at a cyber security firm now.

“Gained control by shutting the entire system down” 🤣

[Random-tilu]

That sucks for the citizens but that's some legendary work by the hackers

When you realize your Minecraft hacks aren’t Minecraft hacks

[GrassesOn]

Not only is this guy just a mad lad, but when they catch him, they’re not gonna put him in jail. They’re gonna hire him.

[vincea]

Pranked an entire city all at once, legend. If there’s a Statute of limitation on this, he should wait one minute after it’s up and confess.

You know sirens can be used for any civilian threat right? They're not just for tornadoes.
