Australian commuters receive text threat

About 10,000 Australian commuters who subscribe to the train operator's timetable messaging service received the threatening text message last night after hackers broke into the system.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports.

"The message read: ALLAHU AKBR FROM CONNEX! our inspectorS Love Killing people - if you see one coming, run. Want to bomb a train? they will gladly help. See you in hell!

... Passwords had been changed to protect the system's security and police were also investigating."
