A digital traffic sign on Los Angeles’ 405 Freeway was hacked to display the address of a website targeting Iranian dissidents. The sign, near Persian Square in Westwood, showed https://t.co/2zPLTB35uF, a website that described itself as part of a campaign to identify and punish people it called ‘traitors to the homeland.’ Caltrans confirmed the unauthorized message and is investigating. Iranian-born critic Emel Karsaz found her name and details on the site and reported it to the FBI.
