Blind since birth Munther and Muzhir Badir, apparently Israeli-Arabs, have developed such computer expertise that by their late teens they were running their own unconventional consulting agency.
Israeli prosecutors accuse the Badirs of remotely accessing the radio station switchboard in order to make free long-distance phone calls. The Defence Force's newly formed cybercrime unit remains baffled by the Badir brothers' activities however. When asked how this could have been done, a spokesperson commented: "It could be done with God's help, otherwise it's impossible."
However, Munther Badir, undaunted by his own disability or even the fact that he is already in custody, defied the Israeli police saying: "The cop who can catch me hasn't been born."
A pair of blind computer-hackers from Israel have been detained and charged with cracking into the Israeli Defense Force radio station using customised braille and voice-activated gadgetry, according to ZD NET UK..
