Waze under attack: Israeli students fake traffic jam on popular map app – National Israel News | Haaretz

A software program the two wrote created a fake traffic jam that lasted for hours, causing many fake drivers to take detours. To avoid causing real traffic jams and affecting real drivers, the two manufactured a backup on the quiet main road through the Technion campus in Haifa. But according to their faculty advisor, Prof. Eran Yahav, the program could just as easily have created a fake traffic jam on any other road in Israel and thereby caused Waze to report erroneous information to its customers.
