if you thought computer hackers were cool...

how about LOGGING HACKERS?!
not like, logging in... like... logging companies.
hackers have helped several brazilian logging companies defy their government and ship far too much timber then they were allowed to. logging companies are only allowed to cut down so many trees every year, and this is all tracked through transport permits (so much timber per transport permit) and when they cut down so many trees, no more transport permits are allowed to be issued. well, they found a way around that. but they were of course caught, which is why it's news.
odd news.
