Make I gist you something wey go blow your mind! Naija no dey get all the wahala alone, hackers don carry their matter enter crosswalks for Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Redwood City!

So, picture this: Caltrans neva change the passwords wey manufacturers set for those talking crosswalks – e be like say dem dey collect people mumu for road! Dem hackers don use am as playground, changing the audio files to impersonate Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Na real comedy be this, my people!

When the matter caught fire, Caltrans quickly disable the audio features of the crosswalks. But the question wey we need to ask be, why dem no just change the passwords from beginning? E no too much work na! E be like say not even your average primary school kid fit figure am out. Na im wey dem end up for wahala!

The prank start for April when people for University Avenue go dey hear fake Musk dey yarn about Trump, and another impersonator dey shout “Sweetie, come back to bed!” My eye don see am all, this na wetin we go call street performance?

But make we clear one thing, di older crosswalk signals wey carry traditional style no fall victim to this gba-gba matter, thank God! Na only di newer ones wey get Bluetooth features, and dem dey very easy for hackers to access. Dem say na you need enter dia frequency close to the signal with your phone. No be small thing at all!

But the matter no finish for this gist o. Caltrans don do their homework; dem go change all di passwords, na so dem go prevent any further wahala like this. Meanwhile, make we dey watch how technology dey transform society day by day. Who know wetin we go dey chop next?
