Adam Laurie, chief security officer of the London security and networking firm ALD shows Wired News how using Linux he was able to expose billing systems, read other guest’s e-mail, and open the minibar at hotels around the world before he spoke about the vulnerability Saturday at the DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas.
I find this sort of stuff very interesting.

Interesting. More wary then ever to stay at a hotel.
I work as the IT guy for a hotel chain, yeah it's VERY disturbing.
Now I get to figure out how to block access to that stuff.
