1230 AM KERV in Kerrville hacked

J

jim-satx

As of this morning it’s been running a loop of EAS tones followed by a guy yelling obscenities amidst noise, which is followed by a guy (Grim Wolf Works) advertising his social media channels.

Looks like the same guy/group that hacked 97.5 ESPN in Houston recently.

It's not even "hacked" at this point. Anyone who's running a Barix streaming box for audio and not changing the default password and putting it behind some kind of firewall is basically leaving an open door into their air chain that can be exploited with almost no effort.

It's been a known problem for years now and my level of sympathy for stations that still allow themselves to be this vulnerable is... limited at best.
