In 2007 16 year old Tom Wood of Melbourne one upped the government with his 30 minute hacking of a $84 million dollar program.

Government then fixed it and obviously did a damn good job as the next time it took Tom a whole 40 minutes to hack it!

Tom Wood is quoted as having said "It was useless, and for $84 million, I would have expected a pretty unbreakable filter."

What is wrong with this kid? Why would any reasonable person think that just because something cost $84 million it should work?

Australian communications Minister Helen Coonan was quoted as saying the government had anticipated kids would find their ways around the NetFilter.

Simply brilliant strategy on Governments behalf, pay $84 million for something they think kids can break in a few minutes. That is just fantastic utilization of the tax payers money!!!
