Poland's Railway System Disrupted by Cheap Radio Hack

Poland's railway system experienced disruptions over the weekend, with more than 20 trains being brought to a halt through what is being described as a "cyberattack." However, cybersecurity experts have revealed that the attack did not involve any sophisticated hacking techniques. Instead, the saboteurs used a simple radio command to trigger the trains' emergency stop function. By sending a series of three acoustic tones at a specific frequency, anyone with off-the-shelf radio equipment could halt a Polish train. The attack highlights the vulnerability of the railway system's unencrypted and unauthenticated radio communication, which can be easily spoofed. The Polish government plans to upgrade the system by 2025 to use more secure GSM cellular radios.

Bubba Wallace Overcomes Racism and Radio Hijacking to Shine in NASCAR.

NASCAR is investigating an incident where someone allegedly hijacked the team radio channel of Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR, during a race and told him he's "not wanted in NASCAR." Wallace's team confirmed that he did not hear or acknowledge the comments during the race. This incident comes after Wallace's team discovered what they believed was a noose hanging from his garage at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama last year. An FBI investigation found no evidence of a hate crime.
