Seattle Police Looking For Group Who Hacked Crosswalk Messages

The Seattle Department of Transportation says it has fixed several crosswalk push buttons that were hacked to play a message mocking billionaire Jeff Bezos. The buttons were hacked to play an apparently AI-generated voice claiming to be Bezos saying, "please don't tax the rich, otherwise all the other billionaires will move to Florida, too," adding, "Wouldn't it be terrible if all the rich people left Seattle or got Luigi-ed and then the normal people could afford to live here again?" Also this week, Redwood City and other Silicon Valley cities had to disable crosswalks playing fake messages from Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
