[quote]IT experts eventually managed to locate the source of the electronic attack and wrestle back control of Hawking’s voice machine, but not before he had claimed that Syrian computer hackers were “totally hot”.[/quote]

this is pretty fucking bizarre
Wait, how does this even happen? Isn't his voice box isolated from any internet connection?
Sorry if I don't actually believe that.
Still funny though.
I would imagine that by now his entire setup is WIFI enabled so he can watch porn/do research/etc

No. It’s made up. All of it. Yup, even that story. As the Middle East’s premier source of SATIRE (much like The Onion, The Daily Mash and Emirates 24/7), The Pan-Arabia Enquirer is not intented, in any way whatsoever, to be take as factual. It’s just here to amuse and any similarities in names (well, except for Ahmadinejad) are purely coincidental. So please don’t take offence to anything we write, OK, because it’s just not worth it.[/quote]
FUCK i'm an idiot

You're right, the story is totally wrong. Stephen Hawking is actually the entire Syrian Electronic Army.
Isn't that dangerous if we hack Stephen Hawking? What if his hard drive crashed? We could lose him forever :(

Security on [b]a lot[/b] of embedded systems is horrible, and if it uses a network interface to transmit commands (not unusual) it's plausible to be hacked. I imagine it would be connected so he can communicate remotely.

Anyway, I hope this is one of the systems that are secured properly so it never happen in reality.
