On 7 April 2017 at around 11:45 PM, Dallas was hacked. Emergency sirens went off for about 90 minutes, until they were shut down completely. As I see it, in at least one way, those sirens were no false alarm.

I was reading about that this morning...    And you have a good point, maybe the alarms weren't false..

It was a classic case of a gray hack. Guy found that the door was open and then left a message to everyone that it needed fixing.
