EFF To Appeal Court Order Vs. Subway Hack Demo

Posted by kdawson on from the tell-no-one dept.

snydeq sends along InfoWorld coverage of the EFF's plans to appeal a US District Court order that kept three MIT students from presenting detailed flaws in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority e-ticketing system at Defcon. And an anonymous reader points out that the MBTA, in addition to triggering the Streisand Effect, released in open court more information on vulnerabilities (PDF) than the students had any intention of presenting. See Exhibit 1 to this court filing.

    Fuck off and stop being such an asshole just because you're anonymous.

    The MBTA filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to stop three Massachusetts Institute of Technology students from giving the talk.

    The action in question is clearly part of a civil suit. Just because you don't like it don't mean it ain't so.
