National Weather Service officials are investigating a message in Chinese that played over the intercom at a National Weather Service center in Maryland on Wednesday, The Washington Post reported.

 

The voice in the message was a woman and it reached building employees by phone at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Center for Weather and Climate Prediction in College Park, Md., according to the Post.

 

“We are aware of the Chinese message that is propagating through the phone system and was (broadcast) over the building PA,” Doug Fenderson, the branch chief for infrastructure and Web services at the weather center, said in an email to the newspaper.

 

“We are engaging the vendor AT&T to alert them of the incident and get root cause. The phone (system) is not tied to any of the government IT controlled systems in the building. Please do not be alarmed,” Fenderson added.

 

A Weather Service employee, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the phone message came first, about 15 minutes before the intercom message. Both lasted about 45 seconds. The employee said nothing else of note happened at the center Wednesday, The Post reported.

 

The employee said that the intercom message, translated from Chinese, said, “You have a package from Amazon at the Chinese embassy, press 1 for more details.”

 

Occupants of the building said that the message surprised employees because the intercom is rarely used. They said they recall only hearing intercom messages in the case of shelter-in-place or fire drills, The Post reported.

 

A Weather Service official contacted by The Post said that the agency did not yet have answers on the source of the intrusion or how it reached the weather service’s systems.
