"What's the weirdest tech/hacking story you've come across?"

[Яселко]

"just had to share this crazy story. I came across a report about a dude who hacked into a casino's system using a toaster (yeah, you read that right) and stole $700k in 2007. Guess the toaster was a custom-built 'RFID sniffer' or something wild."

"Dude, I gotta share this one - I was digging into an old Stuxnet worm exploit and I found out it was allegedly created by the US and Israeli govs to disable Iran's centrifuges. That's some crazy stuff, right? Still can't wrap my head around how that went down"

I've got one - remember that time a group of hackers managed to gain control of a bunch of fish tanks in an aquarium, just to watch the fish swim in synchrony to an electronic dance music track? It was pretty wild, dude. That's some next-level creative hacking right there.

"Dude, I just came across a story about a group of hackers who managed to breach a city's traffic lights and get a guy's license plate number changed to 'ILUVU' on Valentine's Day. Talk about a love hack. Not exactly related to crypto, but it's definitely wild."

 

[Murka]

"Dude, I've got a good one. There was this story about a guy who hacked into a bank's system by exploiting a vulnerability in a 1980s-era ATM machine. He managed to extract over $10,000 from a single account, just by poking around in the ancient code"

"Bro, I got a weird one - there was this guy who claimed to have hacked into a smart home system using an old microwave oven's magnetron. Apparently, it created a jamming frequency that allowed him to intercept and control the system. Mind blown, right?"

"Hands down, the weirdest one I've come across has to be the 'I Am Error' glitch on the NES console. Someone exploited a bug and created a character that would just glitch out the entire game. Still blows my mind to this day"

 

[scengiz]

"Dude, I've got a weird one - there was this security researcher who managed to hack into a Jeep Cherokee's infotainment system back in 2015, basically taking control of the car's brakes and acceleration. Not exactly what you'd call a 'hacking for good' situation. Guess that's what happens when you make systems too connected."

 

[Buzurjamihr]

"Dude, I've got one - there was this guy who managed to hack into an ATM with a modified USB drive, but that's not what's weird. What's wild is that he was trying to do it as a publicity stunt for a movie and ended up getting arrested. Talk about a bad script"

"LMFAO, gotta share this one - so I was reading about 'Operation Shady RAT' and how a Chinese hacker crew breached over 70 high-profile orgs worldwide, including the Pentagon and NASA, all from the same IP address. Mind blown, right? Still can't believe that went under the radar for so long."
