HACKERS brought down a website for a health trust serving 700,000 NHS patients in Dorset. The attack, which disabled the site over the weekend, blocked access to the Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust website. The trust provides treatment for mental health issues, addiction, dentistry, and some primary care services to patients across the county. Hackers posted a message on the site which read: "Don't mess with me. Site totally hacked" and a cartoon image of a penguin emerging from a shattered computer screen carrying a gun. A jumbled message posted by the hacker on the trust's website read: "You call this security. You must be kidding. If you don't want to get into trouble, patch your admin." Dr Paul Ton de Vrieze, a lecturer in web systems and technologies at  Bournemouth University , said such attacks were often made only for the hacker's satisfaction. "Sometimes people hack sites for their own bravura. They think it is fun to do and show the world that they are...

It's gigantic ! It can handle over 100 simultaneous touch points! It has a curvature of 135 degrees! And best of all, it is NOT the newest, insanely expensive gadget to hit the market. Instead, this touchscreen was hacked together with a bunch of PCs, video cameras, projectors and cheap infrared illuminators at the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. It works like this: "The cameras, illuminators and projectors are all placed behind a large, cylindrical screen (formally used as a 3D theater). Due to the diffuse layer on the front side of the screen, the cameras cannot see clearly through the screen, however whenever someone touches the screen, enough of the infrared light is reflected back to see the tip of the finger. The difference is very small (on a scale of 0-255 the difference is only 2 or 3), but still big enough to be seen by the computers that analyze the images from the cameras." The display is used to teach mathematics and computer science students ...
