ANYTHING with a computer can be hacked.
I don't know why people are so surprised when it happens.

Well if the system didn't use a wifi signal to communicate that would definitely increase the security of the system, but I don't know why you would use a computerized system that close to a danger zone anyway. Sure they are nice, but like these guys found out, security procedures are damn near tripled if you want that system to be secure.

I saw a piece about the rifle and its technology some time ago on a german youtube-channel, and wondered why a rifle needs WLan in the first place.
Would someone mind to explain?

So the gun can report that it has been shot and it's location etc. Maybe even with a selfie of the person who shot it.

The government might let you have a gun, but it's going to tattle tale on you every chance it gets.
