The unidentified hacker posted offensive messages.
Chester Bennington’s widow, Talinda Bennington fell victim to a hacker only hours after the singer’s death was announced.

The comic book series the TV show is based on won’t last much longer
The creator of The Walking Dead has said he is preparing to bring the comic book series to an end.
Robert Kirkman began writing the comics on which the popular TV series is based in 2003. The series is currently on its 169th issue.
At a panel during San Diego’s Comic-Con, the author revealed his plans to conclude the book part of the franchise imminently.

The controversial way in which the city rolled out its red-light and speed cameras means that some 1.2 million drivers could soon be seeing refunds as part of a major $38.75 million, according to reports from the Tribune and the Sun-Times.
A lawsuit was launched back in 2015 alleging that the city failed to properly notify motorists of violations. Many drivers were found guilty before they had received a then-required second notice that they committed a traffic violation, the suit alleged. (The city now no longer needs to send a second notice, after the ordinance was changed amidst the controversy.) The charges were then sometimes compounded by $100 late fees, which were issued if payment wasn’t made within a three-week window. (MORE HERE)
Something tells me these refunds won’t be rolling out very quickly.
Mark Hoppus went up to fans wearing Blink 182 shirts and said “hey, nice shirt”, they had no idea who he was. I really hope they see this.
A 23-year-old guy in Florida named Eric Ross called 911 on Sunday to report a SHOOTING inside a house in Daytona Beach.
A bunch of cops responded and showed up with their guns drawn. But once they got there, he told them he made it up . . . because his PHONE was in the house, and he couldn’t get inside to get it.
It turned out he called 911 earlier that day and said the person who lived there might have it. Then when the cops didn’t show up, he decided to make up the story about a shooting.
He knew it was a little risky too, because he told the operator to make sure the cops didn’t SHOOT him when they got there. They did initially point their guns at him.
He was arrested for misusing 911. And it turned out he tried to break into the house to look for his phone before he called. So he’s also facing burglary charges
Today has been hard to say the least. As more news comes out about the tragic death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, we start to reflect on his profound musical legacy and how his band has been so moving with their music for so many years now. The band was primed to go on an extended world tour behind their latest album ‘One More Light’, and earlier today they released a new video for the song ‘Talking to Myself’ with footage from recent live performances. The video was posted just hours before we learned the sad news of Chester’s passing. The lyrics here take on a new meaning and strike upon the pain of negative mental health.
It’s another reminder that mental health is an immediate challenge we must face together. If you or someone you know is dealing with these same problems, reach out and help them.
