A group of teenagers in Estonia successfully hacked into and entered a supposedly secure radioactive waste storage facility in Paldiski. The breach was only discovered after the schoolchildren posted videos online showing themselves walking through the facility's halls and on its roof. The site is a former Soviet nuclear submarine center that was converted into a temporary waste storage facility after its reactors were dismantled in 1995. Local media reports have highlighted the significant security failure.
