Hackers overlay a nuclear explosion onto a live panoramic shot of mountains for a national weather broadcast, were caught and could face 3 years in jail.

Kinda cool stunt - shows nothing is safe from determined hackers

In order to hack into the broadcast, the group is said to have climbed up a television tower near the Krkonose ("Giant Mountains") in the northern Czech Republic and connected a computer to the camera and broadcast cable.

Man, thats not impressive. Had they actually commandeered a satellite and messed with the feed, now that would have been impressive.

They were trying to make a point, that anything in the media can be easily manipulated. While they had a good and true cause, I think there are better ways of going about it then faking a nuclear bomb lmfao.
