Why were Dallas Emergency Alarms Hacked?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Whenever an emergency alarm goes off, people are scared. They wake up in the middle of the night to the dreaded sound, fearing the worst. It means a major disaster has hit the city, and people are in danger. However, sometimes not everything is as it seems. \u2018Luckily\u2019 for disturbed citizens, Friday night\u2019s siren blast did not indicate an impending catastrophe.<\/p>\n

All 156 emergency alarms in Dallas went off in unison Friday night. People were scared, confused and irritated, as the \u2018emergency\u2019 continued for an hour. There was an increased number of 911 calls as well, although, mostly due to the confusion.<\/p>\n

The alarms were eventually disabled, but that did only solve part of the problem. What was behind the false alarm? Allegedly, someone hacked into the system and wrecked havoc intentionally. As to how, or what the purpose was is still in question. But one thing is for sure: God help the culprit when he (or she) gets found.<\/p>\n

“We have now pinpointed it to one area where we think they were able to get into our system and activate all the sirens, and put that into a mode where they sent signals for it to be activated over 60 times\u201d Dallas Office of Emergency Management Director Rocky Vaz said. He also apologised for the inconvenience this caused. He assured people they will be notified about any real emergency in due course.<\/p>\n

There are also alternative communication channels for that, like social media. So, the notion of \u2018cry wolf\u2019 doesn\u2019t apply here. The system should be up and running shortly (but hopefully the alarms won\u2019t sound any time soon).<\/p>\n

“We are putting in safeguards to ensure this type of hack does not happen again,” Sana Sayed, Dallas city spokesman added. Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, let\u2019s ask the cards to see what\u2019s behind this hacker\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n
