A 17-year old Austrian lad was able to hack into the Pentagon and accessed ‘sensitive’ information:
But from the computer in his bedroom, Markus was able to get into the most classified Pentagon sites, including the one which details the silos where missiles with multi-megaton warheads are kept.
“Cracking into the Pentagon was child’s play,” said the teenager. “I know my way round the internet.”
Markus, who lived with his mother in Germany for a while when his parents split up, eventually moved into a small flat in Vienna where he now lives alone.
He added: “I don’t know anyone here, apart from my granny, so I surf all night on the internet.”
Thank God for the young. They’re so inventive.
