Crosswalks hacked in America’s three biggest tech cities to make fun of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
Hackers have reportedly infiltrated crosswalk systems in three of California’s major tech hubs to broadcast AI-generated voices mocking tech moguls Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Crosswalks in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City, intended to assist visually impaired individuals, were compromised, replacing standard audio prompts with satirical messages in the simulated voices of the Tesla and Meta CEOs.
According to a report by Business Insider, the hacks were observed over the weekend as videos of the hacked crosswalk messages made rounds on social media, showcasing the bizarre and often controversial content.
