Except, they're not? These guys never got into the network. What a weird headline.

  It's bloomberg. They wouldn't know an accurate headline if it hit them in the face.

  Additionally, the reporter went out of his way to say that the hackers promised to only target the hotel itself, but then goes on to describe how when it wasn't working, they ended up impersonating the Wifi and doing deauth attacks on guest devices to force them to use the fake wifi... I can understand that the hackers were frustrated that their attempts didn't work out, but then they targeted guest devices because they were embarrassed. The reporter should have put a stop to it.

    What a weird article. They weren't really successful at hacking into anything.

  "Professional security consultants unable to hack hotel" is actually more interesting. I can see why the cybersec team didn't want to be named, the whole thing sounds more or less humiliating - despite standing on ironing boards to Bourne Supremacy the hotel, in the end they resort to WiFi spoofing which is pretty much the average freshman in every high school in America these days. Embarrassing.
