Prisoners Hacking PlayStations For Charging Mobile Phones

Honestly, I’m beginning to think prisoners have been receiving some sneaky electricians’ training, such is the quality of rewiring skills they possess. From rewiring PlayStations into tattoo guns, Scottish crims have gone a step further down the sparky route.

They’re finding much better uses for their IT classes’ computer mice, plugging them into PlayStations by USB and rewiring the ends to power up their mobile phones. Supposedly they’re not allowed mobile phones while behind bars, but seemingly PlayStations, TVs, computers and goodness knows what else is A-OK with the warden. [Daily Record via Reg Hardware]
