A teenage boy who hacked into a Polish tram system used it like "a giant train set", causing chaos and derailing four vehicles. The 14-year-old, described by his teachers as a model pupil and an electronics "genius", adapted a television remote control so it could change track points in the city of Lodz. Twelve people were injured in one derailment, and the boy is suspected of having been involved in several similar incidents.
I probably shouldn't laugh at this, but it amazes me that to this day, no one seems to really understand how security works. Security works by fucking around with things until they break, then fixing them, and starting the process over again. The war on terror could be won by a bunch of school children like this one - for either side.
