Convicted Hacker Paralyses Prison Network. Duh.
We can think of a whole bunch of things belonging firmly in the headslap category. There’s that recent silliness with iSnack 2.0, for starters. But this one strains plausability. It seems the management at a certain English prison thought it would be a good idea to save a few dollars on technical services by borrowing the skills of an inmate. Turns out the inmate was a convicted hacker. Left alone. With a computer. Duh. [Switched] via [Digg].

I can understand the basic logic here, many convicted hackers have become valued assets in IT security. But that’s generally AFTER they have been reformed. They obviously didn’t think it though very hard.
