ABC Report On The Minelab Hacking Incident

[Syndyne]

Hi all,

Thought I'd put up this ABC iView link for the Four Corners report on the hacking of Minelab by China so they could build the counterfeit detectors "allegedly".

I had missed it myself but I found it a very interesting look at the situation.

Just remove this if it's been posted somewhere here already Nugget.
Cheers,
Shauno

I just watched this - very interesting, the lengths that these guys went too was amazing!

Hi Nic103,

Most definitely!
The FBI, CIA etc. constantly having to keep an eye on any suspicious electronic activity definitely have their work cut out.

It's amazing the lengths other countries will go to just to make a cheap knock-off that doesn't really work as promised in most cases. Not sure what the world has come to in the past decade or so. Worldwide patents just aren't worth a pinch of salt today.

Good to know Minelab are on the case now though.

Kindest regards,
Shauno.
