    False Emergency Alert System broadcast

    On February 11, 2013, an unidentified hacker hijacked the station's Emergency Alert System feed and transmitted a fabricated warning that dead bodies were rising from graves and attacking people. WBUP apologized on screen after the incident. The intrusion was linked to a default password, and the perpetrator was later arrested and sentenced to six months of probation.
