SAN FRANCISCO -- A prankster is getting points for creativity after hacking an electronic traffic sign in San Francisco warning of a "Godzilla Attack."

CBS San Francisco reports that the sign was spotted on Van Ness Avenue Wednesday night, reading "Godzilla Attack - Turn Back."

The mobile sign was supposed to be warning drivers about traffic delays during Sunday's Bay to Breakers foot race.

The sign has since been fixed.

This is not the first time someone has hacked an electronic traffic sign to warn of impending danger. In 2012, someone changed a sign in Maine to read "Zombies Ahead" while a traffic sign in Loomis, California was changed to read "Caution Loose Gorilla!"

I like these kinds of attacks. It brings attention to lax security in things we take for granted. It allows the common man to see the problem and ask why is this possible. It does this in a fun way where the danger is minimal and may help fix the issue for when the danger may not be so minimal.
