I do wonder how a resort got a 5 star rating when it was down stream (wind?) from a sewage treatment plant.

One of the (if not the) first prosecutions of a hacker in Australia was that of Vitek Boden, who - back in 
March/April 2000 - modified telemetry data used by a sewage treatment plant operated by Maroochydore Shire Council, 
in Queensland. This caused millions of litres of raw sewage to be pumped into local waterways, parks and even a 
5-star resort. Boden was sentenced to two years imprisonment.

Now that's foul...
