This is a toilet of a story! In order to effect the "hack" you'd need to be close enough to flush it by hand! Yikes, my toilet at home is susceptible to attack by the same method.
I think if you have an hacker in your bathroom, you have bigger problems.
Flip side: will this spurn a new army of "sanitary hackers" who break into unhygienic bathrooms and flush toilets that the owners have neglected to attend to? Brown-hat hackers?!
