A group of precocious but considerate teens spent their lunch hour trying to hack into a nearby ATM in Montreal, Canada, but when the 14-year-olds succeeded in doing so, they promptly marched to the bank to let officials know what they did.

Bank personnel were skeptical at first…until the teens came back with proof in the form of all sorts of personal documents from the ATM—and they changed the ATM’s greeting screen from its normally chipper “Welcome to the BMO ATM” to “Go away. This ATM has been hacked.”

Eventually, the branch manager sat down with the teens to discuss how the bank might improve security, and then sent them back to school with a note explaining why they were late to class. (The Winnepeg Sun)
