YG 'FDT' Song: Hackers Play Anti-Donald Trump Tune On Radio Stations
Several radio stations across the country were briefly hacked to play an anti-President Donald Trump hip-hop song, the Associated Press reports.
“FDT (F--- Donald Trump)” by YG and Nipsey Hustle was played on small regional radio stations across several states within the past few weeks. Locations where the song was played include Louisville, San Angelo, Texas and Evansville, Ind..
Sunny 107.9 WFBS-FM, a radio station based in Salem, S.C., was the latest station to have its broadcast signal hacked. According to Radio Insight and the Associated Press, a loop of “FDT (F--- Donald Trump)” was played for at least 15 minutes Monday night at 10 p.m.
On Facebook, the station apologized to its listeners for the hack. In the comments, the station also said that it had lost advertising broadcast time for companies that it had to “make up at our expense.”
As Radio Insight noted, several of the radio broadcast hacks occurred because stations were using an unsecured Barix Exstreamer for broadcasts. The company told BuzzFeed News that stations using a Barix that didn’t have a firewall enabled were highly vulnerable to similar broadcast hacks.
