Quote:Zombie alert broadcast on US TV by hackers
Hackers have interrupted a US television channel's regular programming to announce that dead bodies are "attacking the living".
The Montana Television Network says hackers broke into the Emergency Alert System of Great Falls affiliate KRTV and its CW station on Monday.
KRTV says on its website the hackers broadcast a warning that "dead bodies are rising from their graves and attacking the living" in several Montana counties.
The alert, which was broadcast over The Steve Wilkos show, urged viewers not to approach the bodies because "they are considered extremely dangerous".
The message was quickly removed and KRTV broadcast an apology.
The network says there is no emergency and its engineers are investigating.
