Hackers Crack WRAL’s Closing Website

I found this pretty amusing. Hackers cracked the password on WRAL’s “Weather Closing” website for the Wake County School System.

Officials with the station and the school system did not know who engineered the hoax, which lasted about 25 minutes.

The school system has two special codes for reporting school closings to WRAL, said schools spokesman Michael Evans, and someone armed with the codes called in the alert.
