6.The Max Headroom TV Hacking

A couple of TV stations based in Chicago were hacked back in the late 80’s. When a program aired, an eerie hacker appeared and disrupted the signals for airing the broadcast. A unknown person donning Max Headroom glasses and a mask made an appearance when the broadcast was under interruption. The initial incident occurred as the news program was just about to air.

The interruption happened for approximately twenty five seconds. Later on, there was a second incident occurred about two hours later during WEEW’s broadcast of Doctor Who. What turned this hacking a degree weirder was when the hacker became inaudible the whole time since the character wasn’t doing anything on screen. To this day, no one really knows who was responsible for this very odd interruption. Nobody can really solve the mystery behind this odd television performance.
