The lines indicate the paths between the stations and their respective transmitters, where the hacker was likely positioned. The hijacking of the stations took some strategic positioning – not only did the hacker(s) have to know exactly which stations they wanted to hijack and their physical broadcasting locations, they had to know a location central to those locations in order for the signal takeover to work. Who hacked into these TV stations’ airwaves to broadcast these strange videos, and why did they do it? The EvidenceĮven though the evidence in this case narrows down the field quite a bit, the hacker remains at large. Not to mention, the video itself was incredibly strange, and piqued the curiosity of audiences and investigators alike.
While no one was directly hurt by the broadcasts, hijacking airwaves is still a federal offense punishable with fines up to $10,000. WTTN did not respond as quickly to the incident, as they did not have as many engineers on duty at the time of the hijacking, and by the time they were able to respond, the broadcast was over. The video then cuts to the person leaning over a chair with their pants off as a woman, whose face is out of the frame, pretends to hit their behind with a fly swatter. This interruption, almost two minutes in length, features the same distorted Max Headroom caricature in front of a tilting background, rambling about pop culture, newspapers, and art in a distorted voice.
