White Supremacists Hack Alabama Interstate Sign

The Birmingham News reports:

Multiple motorists traveling on Interstate 65 on Monday near Clanton reported Alabama Department of Transportation signs displaying messages for a group identified as a white supremacist organization. Images on social media showed large digital traffic signs displaying the words “Patriot Front” and “reclaim America.”

The SPLC identifies Patriot Front, based in Texas, as a “white nationalist hate group” which formed in the aftermath of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. According to the Anti-Defamation League, Patriot Front is responsible for “the vast majority of white supremacist propaganda distributed in the United States” since 2019.

Captured these before the trooper waved me to go on. How does this come about? Is it an inside job kind of thing? It also said “Road Work Nightly” or something on the third “slide” and it was an actual work zone that followed. Weird as hell. (I-65 near Clanton heading north) pic.twitter.com/7eLeUvnOSK
