In 2008, Boston’s transit authority sued to stop MIT hackers from presenting at the Defcon hacker conference on how to get free subway rides. Today, four teens picked up where they left off.
Those 4 teens should get a scholarship for this, paid for by mbta’s IT security budget.
Those 4 teens should first fix mbta’s IT issues. It sounds like they are smarter than the folks at mbta.
It probably has less to do with how smart the MBTAs IT team is and more likely how much the MBTA is willing to spend on IT.
I dunno about that. There’s a difference between people who can find flaws and people who architect systems.
That’s like saying a escape artist should be in charge of building the prison. Ideally they work together and provide both perspectives.
