> Directv owners (owners of FOX networks) secretly commissioned some hackers
It wasn't much of a secret.
Newscorp (the FOX assholes) didn't control DTV until 2003. Prior to that, however, DTV utilized the services of NDS for security.
NDS was owned by Newscorp, and run by ex-mossad hackers. For some strange reason DTV was constantly owned again and again while NDS was responsible for security at DTV.
In 2002, DTV rolled out a new access card without the involvement of NDS, and by golly, it was secure (and remained secure for years).
In 2003, Newscorp said fuck that, and bought a controlling interest in DTV.
