“The Chaos Computer Club supports the three hackers who explained in detail at 37C3 how the Polish rail vehicle manufacturer Newag had manipulated its trains in such a way that they could only be repaired in the company's own workshops. The manufacturer reacted to the publications with an attitude not seen since the 90s and sued the hackers under both criminal and civil law.
The CCC is calling for donations to cover the legal and other resulting costs incurred so far.”
We are very grateful and honoured to now also be supported by the Chaos Computer Club.
Incidentally, our talk about the legal repercussions of disclosing the Impuls train DRM system is in less than 4 hours. There might not be many new technical things to talk about, but I'm sure at least some of you will find our story interesting. Especially as we haven't done much of an update in English since last year.
Watch the talk on https://media.ccc.de/ at 23:00 CET.
