Polish Train Maker Is Suing the Hackers Who Exposed Its Anti-Repair Tricks
Newag, maker of Polish trains, is suing ethical hackers who exposed its anti-repair software, threatening independent repair and consumer rights.Charlie Sorrel (iFixit)

They also provided the evidence that is being used in court.
They were legal investigators and are now operating as expert witnesses in the court cases.
Newag are commiting fraud and performing market manipulation.
The people making those decisions are liable to criminal charges, as well as being personally liable to lawsuits from Newag's stockholders.
Who is going to buy trains from Newag in future?
@BillySmith @feike @notjustbikes
Newag wins bids because EU procurement rules require public agencies to buy the products of the lowest bidder with a bid that conforms to the tender.
Polish train companies are *required* to buy Newag trains provided they are cheaper than other trains, until they rewrite the tender to say something like "Also, your train can't have DRM."
@Cory Doctorow @Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱 @Billy Smith @Feike 🇪🇺🇳🇱 @Urix Turing
Only when they give price as the only factor that matters. That rarely happens. My wife has set up procurement processes where price was only 30% of the total score.
So they're only required to buy Newag if they're idiots about their procurement.
@BillySmith @feike @notjustbikes
Newag is exhibiting here a level of fraud and malevolence that is comparable to that of the companies involved in the Dieselgate scandal, well worth police raids and prison sentences for execs, but for some reason that didn't happen (yet?) nor made it into mainstream press headlines.

#Trump announced 25% #tariff on #India starting Friday: Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday that India “is our friend” but its “#Tariffs are far too high” on #US goods when announcing he’ll impose a 25% tariff on goods from India.
Trump added that India buys #military equipment & #oil from #Russia, which he said has enabled the war in #Ukraine. As a result, he intends to charge an additional “penalty” but didn’t give details.
The Census Bureau reported that the #US ran a $45.8 #trade imbalance in goods with #India last year, meaning it imported more than it exported.
At a population exceeding 1.4 billion people, India is the world’s largest country & a possible geopolitical counterbalance to #China. India & #Russia have close relations, & New Delhi has not supported Western #sanctions on Moscow over its #war in #Ukraine.
