Employees at a National Weather Service office in Maryland were startled when a random message suddenly blared over the intercom in Chinese
- Federal officials are trying to figure out how a random Chinese-language message suddenly blared over the intercom at a National Weather Service office in Maryland on Wednesday.
- Minutes before the voice of a Chinese woman was broadcast, employees received a similar message on their phones at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) affiliate office in College Park, Maryland, The Washington Post reported.
- An approximate English translation of the message said, "you have a package from Amazon at the Chinese Embassy. Press 1 for more details," The Post said.
- In an email to Business Insider Wednesday evening, an NOAA representative said the agency is still investigating the matter.
