Hackers insert footage of nuclear explosion into webcam

Normally, I don't link to and say "check this out", but for this I had to make an exception.

"Czech hackers managed to get access to a webcam and insert realistic footage of nuclear explosion. The incident was broadcasted on the Czech TV programme Panorama on Sunday."

Talk about a "hack"

This incident looks like in Hackers movie where hackers connected to TV channel and showed their video.

P.S.
