Hacked Park Sign tell drivers where to go...

Well this certainly would make your morning commute more entertaining. Residents of a small town in the U.K called Crowley were greeted happily by a "F... off" council car park sign, but oddly enough, hardly anyone noticed.

These digital signs normally indicate how many spaces are free in each of the town's car parks but were defaced by a hacker. The hacker broke into the system at around 6.45am, substituting the rude message and a tag promoting the US totse.com forum. The messages were on display for more than two hours before council officers told the system maintenance company to remove them!

According to Ananova.com, Council spokesman Allan Hambly said: "We have no idea why Crawley was picked on. Only two members of the public reported it -I even drove past one of the signs myself without noticing it"
