Toronto commuters told Stephen Harper ‘eats babies’

`Bemused Toronto commuters were repeatedly informed that “Stephen Harper eats babies” after a hacker tampered with advertising signs on city trains.

The scrolling electronic signs that usually carry transit updates and advertisements on Toronto’s westbound Lakeshore GO Transit trains carried the messages Thursday, Friday and Monday after the hacker used a remote-control device to re-program the wording and mock the prime minister.

The ingenious hacker made sure that suburban commuters in at least five different cars continued to get his or her subliminal message.’
