Virtual Denmark Attacked by Virtual Americans

One story I found interesting was that cyber vandals blew up virtual Denmark and raised american flags and writing America and ‘Merica all over the place.  The vandals got on to a server on the acclaimed game Minecraft and blew up TNT. The server banned the TNT but Minecraft has TNT on minecarts that the vandals used to blow up a fair bit of a city. Thankfully no one was hurt or killed in virtual Denmark. The government of Denmark paid pro Minecraft builders to build Denmark so they could use it in schools to teach their geography. There was very little cleanup because they only blew up part of a city.


 I found this story interesting because I play minecraft and it is very interesting way to teach geography. I also play on many minecraft servers where people have hacked the server to get what they want like winning a game, or getting server money.

I found this story at CNN----> http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/09/tech/social-media/apparently-this-matters-america-invades-denmark-minecraft/index.html?iref=allsearch
