Hackers are selling root access to Venice’s flood defenses for less than the price of a decent espresso machine. I suppose keeping the city dry wasn't in the budget this year.

The Full Story
The 'Infrastructure Destruction Squad' has gained full control over the hydraulic pumps at Piazza San Marco, proving that critical infrastructure is just another playground for bored teenagers. This charming incident puts every Venetian who prefers not to live in an aquarium at the mercy of a dark web bidding war. We protect ourselves by not leaving admin interfaces for flood gates exposed to the entire internet for the price of a weekend getaway. It is truly heartening to see the literal tide held back by such robust, six-hundred-dollar security measures.
