An inmate at Norway's Halden prison managed to hack the facility's TV system so he could share pornographic films and secret messages with his fellow prisoners. It comes as the country's inmates face potential restrictions on adult entertainment.
Following the hack, inmates could use their TV sets to chat to each other and share files without the prison guards knowing.
However, prison authorities became suspicious after noticing a spike in data traffic on the system, Jan Stromnes from Halden prison told Norway's VG newspaper, according to The Local.
"We reacted when we noticed unusually high data traffic and that inmates were having more than the normal trouble with their TVs. In addition, we found a handwritten note with a log-in on an inmate during a search,” Stromnes said.
The prisoner has been transferred to another facility, and officials at Halden are considering reporting the incident to the police. Full story...
