'Hacker' accused of idiotic plan to defraud bank out of $1.5 million

Humu

In Finland there was very similar case. However 'the criminal' had a perfect alibi (surveilance cameras) and his name was in a recent legal case, where a great many names and id's was hacked. No use - the policeofficer was so confident, that this guy must be a criminal and so he was slammed into jail waiting for trial.

It took a few days for his layer to point out, that using own name is stupid, that his id an name may well be used by a fraudster. So perhaps police could take a peek to these CRV shots? They didn't really want to do that, but they did - and then they found out that this guy is really innocent. Upps!

TomTom sorry for giving customer driving data to cops

Alert

Speed more than 13.2 km/s

I've seen some data collected by the navigators, and then turned to experts do some analysis on it. It was extremely hilarious to find out, how some cars first crawl very slowly, and then they speed up something like 13.2 km/s (speed to reach the orbit)!. If the cops are REALLY using the TomTom data to catch speeders, they'll need to have something like US Space Shutlle.

Business as usual

You are saying: "Open software is initially cheap. Later you shall probably make some modifications. That will cost a lot!"

So what's the point!

Proprietary software is initially expensive. Later you need to make some modifications. That will cost even more!!!
