“Can you open door?” read a text message received by HuffPost Senior Culture Writer Zeba Blay on Thursday morning. It was from her mother, who was nowhere nearby.
Senior Food and Style Editor Kristen Aiken received a text from her grandmother on Thursday that read “Nice looking boy!” Her grandmother rarely texts and they hadn’t been talking about a boy.
Numerous people woke up to odd text messages like these ― sent from friends and family members, exes even! They seemed to make little sense. The messages appeared disjointed, not relevant to any current or ongoing conversation. To add further mystery to the ordeal, people weren’t just receiving these messages. Others were accused of sending them ― despite not having any evidence in their outgoing message logs.
One reader, Debra Achatz, told HuffPost in an email that she received a text from her husband of 50 years that simply read, “Dakota.” He died in June.
Achatz also noted that the message wasn’t like anything her husband had sent her in his lifetime. Though, she said, “he did travel across the country in [January] 2019. I think it’s a longshot, but he could have texted me that he was in North Dakota. Not like him though to drop the ‘North.’”

“Voice assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant can be hacked by shining a laser on the devices’ microphones, according to an international team of researchers.
Dubbed “Light Commands,” the hack “allows attackers to remotely inject inaudible and invisible commands into voice assistants,” according to a statement from experts at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo and the University of Michigan.”

Perhaps a variation of the above is happening.

Move zig .For great justice. All your base are beling to us.
I guess all those AI devices , such as SIRI, are getting lonely.
It could be aliens.
The issue was reportedly caused by a maintenance update made to “messaging platforms of multiple carriers in the US.” https://www.wired.com/story/mysterious-text-messages-valentines-day/
“Tons”? of text messages?
SICK and not Funny
Sounds like a text temporary data storage bank went haywire. lol
Probably part of the Deep State’s plans. Another mass murder shooting could be in the works.
I’ve been. having problems with strange things on my iPhone with AT&T Service. Sometimes the messages are extremely odd.
What does a ton of texts weigh?
Powered by Google.
Candy Crush would be a example.
I’d change my screen name too if I were you.
Just to be on the safe side.
The Russians
