An advisory from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters states that, for some time, the culprits had been amassing passwords, which were used to redirect the receiver to the desired podcast, before the login was changed in order to necessitate a manual reset.
The hijack was carried out via an exploit linked to Barix Box transmission devices. KXAX owner Jason Mclelland told the site that the hosts of the podcast “talked about sex with two guys and a girl in explicit detail and rambled on with vulgar language.”
As well as KIFT, an unnamed station in Denver, and Texas-based country station KXAX were also targeted in the attack, according to a report from Ars Technica.
