A Melbourne schoolboy has cracked the Federal Government's new $84 million internet porn filter in minutes.Tom Wood, 16, said it took him just over 30 minutes to bypass the Government's filter, released on Tuesday.
His technique ensures the software's toolbar icon is not deleted, leaving parents under the impression the filter is still working.
A former cyber bullying victim, Tom feared a computer-savvy child could work out the bypass and put it on the Internet for others to use.
In response to the Herald Sun's inquiries, the Government added an Australian designed filter, Integard, to the website yesterday, which Tom cracked within 40 minutes.
