Narrative:

Aircraft X called me and asked if restricted area R2510 was active. On my display it was showing inactive. I told the pilot it was inactive and quickly glanced at the time it was to change and told him that as well.it turns out; whoever was responsible for updating the restricted areas made a mistake so it was showing cold when in fact it was hot. The pilot called in to the front desk to complain about being 'buzzed' by fighter jets when transiting the airspace.when I looked back over my left shoulder to find the time the restricted area was to change; I should have taken a closer look. I would have realized that the board was accurate. It showed the restricted area active; but I didn't look that far. I only looked at the time it was to change. I should have paid closer attention. Although the restricted area should have been displayed as active on my display I could have prevented the incident with a little more awareness.
