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 :(

sympathy must be flushed down the toilet this world is a joke lately

only lately? :Oh crap

how did they hack into tv?

tapped into the video cable of the remote camera I think

There not really good hackers more like IDIOTS, they got cought and will be doing jail time with Buba. I'm not impressed one bit.:2 cents:

WEll said :2 cents:

god...damn... that is some funny shit

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.

Funny stuff indeed...
