Prisoners hack tablets to transfers over USD 225,000 into accounts
New Delhi, Jul 31 (ANI): A report of misuse of technology has come to the fore wherein, over 300 inmates in Idaho were able to hack into tablets to get rich sitting right inside the jail. The JPay tablets that are provided to inmates were hacked to collectively transfer a total of USD 225,000 into various accounts. These tablets are intended for prisoners to access music, e-books, games, and emails. However, the prices for this access are very steep, which is also considered as a motivation for the attack. JPay has recovered USD 65,000 so far. Inmates have been barred from accessing anything else other than email, till the complete amount is retrieved.
