That URL pointing to a password reset page on Everbridge (which is a real emergency communication platform used by governments and institutions) shouldn’t be part of a public EAS screen.
It feels like either:
1. A misconfiguration or internal system error — someone behind the scenes might’ve accidentally triggered a dev/test alert with sensitive links attached.
2. A compromise or unauthorized access — if someone got into the EAS alerting system (maybe through Everbridge or a connected platform), they could’ve injected that URL as a prank or worse.
3. A formatting bug or log leak — the system could’ve inadvertently dumped a password reset request into the alert text, which again would suggest poor safeguards or segmentation.
Red flags:
• Sensitive-looking Everbridge URL in public alert
• “forgotPassword/resetPwd” path? That’s backend internal logic stuff, not for public eyes
• Possibly includes a token (a=hU0YnTuhEYq...) which may have been valid for resetting a real account
If this was broadcasted widely, someone at Everbridge, Wayne County, or IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) seriously fumbled.
