== February 2013 EAS Zombie hoax ==
This story is based on the real EAS Zombie hoax that was broadcast on KRTV channel 3, the real CBS/CW affiliate in Great Falls.
On February 11, 2013, hackers broke into the EAS networks in several communities in the central and eastern United States, Southeast Canada and Northern Mexico to broadcast an emergency alert that zombies have risen from their graves in several counties in and nearby these communities. During an airing of The Steve Wilkos Show, the fake EAS message was broadcast over the airwaves of KBBJ at 2:33 PM MST. Other affected affiliates from the American Broadcast Network, Rainbow Dash Network, Paramount Network, The Q and RKO were WBZK from Boston, Massachusetts, WPAR-TV and WNYSM from New York City, New York, KRBW from Wichita Falls, Texas and Lawton, Oklahoma, XHRDN-TV and XRKOMR from Reynosa, Matamoros, Mexico and Kingsville, Texas, CRBD and CJPNY-DT from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Buffalo, New York. Details on the hacking incident remain unknown at present, though a representative for Monroe Electronics, a maker and distributor of EAS equipment, mentioned that some stations do not change their logins or passwords, opting to use factory presets instead. Because of this, trade groups, including the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association, urged broadcasters to change their passwords and to recheck their security measures.
