This is London: Boy of 17 hacks into missile secrets

I’ve no idea why, but this story about an Austrian teenager hacking into the Pentagon and discovering secret nuclear missile locations sounds completely bogus to me. I can’t believe systems with that kind of critical information would even be wired to the net.

This passage is ridiculous: Now an FBI team is on its way to Vienna to question Markus. Their big fear is that Osama bin Laden followers may have enjoyed similar access for months.
