Statement and more informations from the German CCC alias Chaos Computer Club, a civil rights organization of software tweakers and computer experts:

By the way: The train manufacturer company is suing the people who exposed this, and CCC is collecting donations for their legal support - details on the page linked above.
The “hackers” (specialists who had been hired by the train owner) presented their findings and the manufacturers reaction on the last two chaos communication congresses if you want to hear their side of the story directly:
why are you putting hackers in quotes? they presented their findings at a hacker conference and they used some cool hacks to fix trains, does that not qualify them as hackers?
To preempt the common interpretation of hackers as criminals.
Some people believe hacker means IT criminal. Which it does not.
Indeed.
Some people should just grow up already :)
I believe they’re just misinformed by neoliberal corporate media
