    I keep a small list titled “illegal heroes”, and these hackers are on that list. It’s bullshit that they’re being hounded like this.

      They are not illegal heroes, they are pentesters and were paid by train company SPS who were using these trains.

      They had a talk at CCC 2 years ago, and last one too I think. It’s pretty funny.
