In case you missed it, the hackers who reverse-engineered DRM on Polish trains got sued by the train manufacturer…

…multiple times.

Hackers were sued after making public how train manufacturer #newag manipulated their trains to prevent third-party repairs.

Legal fees are around 30,000€ by now.

The CCC is now calling for donations to cover the legal and other resulting costs incurred so far.

i'm proud to announce that pl-api and pl-fe are the first fediverse clients to support changing passwords on four different platforms

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 media.ccc.de/ at 23:00 CET.

“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.

@wikipedia Like the Kate Bush effect?

From 2014: Grief cliff: Massive landslip leaves Kate Bush's 17-acre home on Devon coast at risk of crumbling into the sea

"Kate Bush thought that she had found the perfect hideaway when she bought a secluded cliff-top home to protect her from obsessive fans.

"But now the notoriously publicity-shy singer, who embarked on a long-awaited comeback tour last week, is facing the prospect of watching her house crumble into the sea.

"The property, set in 17 acres, rests on a cliff edge in Devon. It has been at risk since last year when a ‘significant landslip’ caused a large section of adjoining coastline to fall away."
