Every potential buyer of trains should ban this company from new sales.
Yeah. I’m not buying another train from them ever again
Good for you! I’m going to boycott them, too.
Same. My personal Home <-> Work line will never see a Newag train.
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.
Newag executives should be in jail for fraud
I will sue you because you broke my ransomware.
It’s the general modus of today, exposing corruption is illegal and extremism, fixing intentional sabotage is illegal and against IP law, catching pedophiles is illegal and a stalking attack on respected people like Sourgay Brin and Mark Suckerberg. Bypassing censorship is illegal and making tools for criminals. Bypassing propaganda is illegal and inciting to violence. Laughing at unsubstantiated demands is illegal and a challenge to elected or other authority.
It’s slowly drifting to the point where “illegal” is trying to make sense in what’s allowed and what’s not, and “legal” is having approval from power.
A mafia world.
Don’t forget that saying rich people should obey the law is also illegal.
“Rich people” should be replaced with “authority”, which is more general. Otherwise yes.
I also think that if George Lucas violates some law during operation of his museum, he will get all the problems intended by the law. He’s not involved in building a digital concentration camp, he’s also not an Epstein island visitor, and he’s actually a rare example of a famous person who honestly should be richer than they are. At the same time there are different dimensions of “rich”. The fact that his museum actually happens makes me feel <erased, too personal>.
OK, I can’t be impartial about Lucas, of the people big in various parts of humanity he’s among the few who haven’t betrayed their picture in my childhood one bit. Star Wars is the most anti-fascist, anti-evil, anti-mediocrity, anti-surrender, living thing that I know (other than the living things like earth, wind, water, plants, animals and humans, but you get the idea).
Capitalism is a scourge.
You are literally looking at a company trying to prevent competition by doing crime, being caught and trying to use law against those who caught it.
Capitalism is that thing where competition is considered a virtue in the first place.
For what? Being decent human beings?
They should be being sued for doing anti repair tricks.
The guys exposing the anti repair tricks are the heroes here.
I couldn’t tell better. “The sheep are made to be sheared”. Each day, critical thinking fades a little more, leading people into a spiral of submission that has never been as swift and humiliating.
Where legal fund
CCC was collecting some money for them last year, not sure if this is still active https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2024/das-ist-vollig-entgleist
Edit: looks like they were past the goal they had then but if this goes on maybe 30k € won’t be enough, hopefully someone sets something new up
