Hacker Body Shames Overweight Roosters Using Caltrans Sign Near Redwood Valley

Yup, that’s what the sign said.

Commuters along Highway 20 got a chuckle this week when someone reprogrammed an electronic Caltrans sign to read “Fat Cock”, rather than the safety message it was intended to display.

A reader told us the sign was near the intersection of State Route 20 and Road 144 where Caltrans is working on the Calpella Two Bridge Replacement project

The steps required to reprogram electronic road signs are easily accessed online but those caught in the act could face criminal charges of felony vandalism

This is not the first time a Caltrans sign has been hacked. In 2017, a sign near Davis, California was hijacked to display the message “Trump Has Herpes”

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
