The Mirror reports that a jailed hacker was allowed to gain control over the prison computer hard drive. [via]
Slashdot says prison computer network was in the control of this hacker but the Mirror states that he had control of the hard drive and managed to lock everyone else out by password protecting it.
That’s two quite different things, but regardless it sounds like he didn’t do much harm. I’d be more concerned about the inmate that at the same jail managed to get a key cut that opened every door.
