Hackers in the US are reportedly taking control of radio broadcasts nationwide... and forcing them to play a particularly profane anti-Trump track.
Earlier this week Salem, South Carolina's peppily named Sunny 170.9 was targeted. Its standard fare is "oldies and beach music", but the hackers forced them to play "FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)" on repeat for almost 20 minutes.
According to Buzzfeed, similar airwave hijackings have occurred to an "R&B oldies" station in Texas, Tennessee's Spanish-language station El Jefe 96.7, Mother of the Redeemer Radio 103.5 in Indiana, and Crescent Hill Radio in Kentucky.
