Schoolboy Takes Out Poland’s Trams With TV Clicker
Author: Dave Lewis
Who says critical infrastructure security isn’t important? Well not the folks that run the trams in Lodz, Poland. And certainly not the 12 people who were injured in the ensuing mess.
From Computer Weekly:
Polish police yesterday arrested a 14-year-old schoolboy for endangering public safety when he hacked the Lodz tram system and disrupted traffic.
Using a TV-style remote control he built himself, Adam Dabrowski allegedly changed the points on the city’s tram system. This derailed some tram cars, causing them to crash and injure up to 12 passengers.
