The crew over at the Hungarian Autonomous Center for Knowledge (H.A.C.K.) say they aren’t the most well-funded organization out there, so they were stoked when they found they could afford to bring a slightly used UNI-T UT2025B digital oscilloscope into the shop. As they started to tinker with it, the scope revealed one major shortcoming – screenshots were only accessible via a USB connection to a Windows computer.

Hacker group Anonymous changed passages of the new Hungarian constitution on the website of the Constitutional Court, internet portal Index reported on Sunday.

According to Index, the hackers added several passages to the basic law, such as stipulations that those working in IT jobs could retire at age 32, and should be entitled to pensions equal to 150 percent of their salaries. Another new section said that Anonymous and other grass-roots IT groups should fight internal or external threats against the country.
