“GO Transit spokesman Edmund Shea explained that Toronto-based Exclusive Advertising Inc., which set up the signs inside the trains, is usually responsible for programming the messages on them. “These are basic scrolling signs with advertising messages and GO Transit messages,” he said. “They were installed at least six years ago, and they’ve been problem-free until someone hacked into them and [changed the messages]. There have been about half a dozen incidents since last [April 27]. Unfortunately, they put a message on it that was a slur to our Stephen Harper, our prime minister – obviously, it’s not our message. We don’t endorse it. We regret that it happened and we’re sorry if anyone’s been offended, including our prime minister.””

The message inserted by the hacker was “Stephen Harper eats babies.”
