To preempt the common interpretation of hackers as criminals.

The “hackers” (specialists who had been hired by the train owner) presented their findings and the manufacturers reaction on the last two chaos communication congresses if you want to hear their side of the story directly:

• Breaking “DRM” in Polish trains – Reverse engineering a train to analyze a suspicious malfunction (2023)
• We’ve not been trained for this: life after the Newag DRM disclosure (2024)

I guess he means cruel as opposed to “accidental”. He’s trying to make clear that it happens deliberately.

Hmm, the thumbnail change doesn’t seem to have federated to lemmy.ml or other instances (so far at least), but it shows on lemmy.ca. Interesting. Thanks for updating it.

I see the Reuters video has already been posted to this community, so I’ll refrain from cross-posting the Guardian article here as well. @engene@lemmy.ca if you edit the post and set the following as “Thumbnail URL” it will show up in the websites/apps better: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/e439f142-4f5c-475a-b1b0-d0ee102de6f7.jpeg

Because I’ve noticed the same thing with comments removed by .ml admins, I can see the modlog entry when looking on .ml itself, but when viewed from .worlds modlog it’s missing in some cases

I believe this depends on what community it happens on. If the community is on ml, then ml moderation actions will be copied by world (or any other instance showing that community), but if it happens on a world community then ml moderation actions stay on ml.
