Well,Romance Archives here's one way to get a message across.
By taking advantage of a vulnerability found in a common model of Low Power FM (LPFM) radio transmitters, hackers have repeatedly flooded airwaves across the country with an anti-Trump anthem, sending a very specific message to the nation's sitting commander-in-chief: "FDT."
The hackers are reportedly commandeering the LPFM stations to broadcast "F*ck Donald Trump," the protest anthem from rappers YG and Nipsey Hussle, on an endless loop.
SEE ALSO: How Trump's Australia call probably went downThe vulnerability stems from unsecured Barix Exstreamer IP streaming devices, Ars Technica reports. The devices can be openly connected to the internet, exposing them to hacking threats if stations don't take the appropriate precautions. Barix warned customers of the vulnerability last April, advising users to implement 24-character passwords and beef up their connections by using a VPN and securing their devices behind firewalls.
That advisory came shortly after a similar hack treated Colorado-area listeners to 90 uninterrupted minutes of a podcast about furry sex.
SEE ALSO: How simple, internet-connected lightbulbs can 'go nuclear' and risk a cityReports of the FDT hack have come from LPFM broadcasts all over the country, from a regional Mexican channel in Nashville, Tennessee to a Catholic programming station in Evansville, Indiana.
Notably, YG offered to give the Trump inauguration some street cred by showing up for a set — on the condition that he would only perform FDT, for $4 million.
For some reason, the Inauguration Committee didn't bite and booked 3 Doors Down instead.
