Silly things happening in California today.
Law enforcement issued an Amber Alert (kidnapped or missing child) to residents in California. However, they reached the Amber Alert character limit.
They tried using a URL shortener, but didn't realize that was still too many characters. Law enforcement sent out a Bitly URL that was inadvertently truncated ... which directed people to a weird file conversion website which is either spam or slop malware.
They sent this message to hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of people. Very cool.
tldr California law enforcement tries to issue warning about child in danger, too long message, cuts off URL, new URL is spoopy
