Hackers Mess With News Broadcast.

The morning presentation of ČT2's (the channel name) Panorama got disturbed by a group of hackers when they aired a fictive nuclear explosion in Krkonoše. According to the spokesman of Česká Televize [tshescha: televise] (czech TV) Martin Krafl were the snapshots very inappropriate and could have scared a large number of audience. The situation is now being dealt with by lawyers.

They didn't really "hack" it - they just unplugged the camera's AV cable and plugged in their own footage. They can do in seamlessly because they shine a torch in front of the camera - whiting it out, also giving the impression of the explosion. Got to admit, it might scare the shit out of some people, but it's very clever stuff.

Actually they didn't hack the news report. It's a news report about the hack.

Essentially in central europe there is a network of automated cameras panning through the landscape. The video is shown on television channels, superimposed with the name of the place and the temperature. This is supposed to promote that place. They "hacked" into that system.
