Secret Squirrel Hacker and Emergency Alert System Hijacking
An ABC 7 News report featuring a hacker named "Jake" (screen name "Secret Squirrel") is mocked. The report claims that activists could hijack the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to create a "War of the Worlds" style panic. The hosts suggest the hacker is a federal informant and that the entire report is "fed propaganda" designed to create fear of the internet and the Occupy movement.
