Irish parcel locker briefly displays a Windows command prompt
A customer using an OOHPod parcel locker in Ireland found a blank screen with a minimised Windows command prompt instead of the normal collection interface. The unexpected window briefly exposed a command-line tool to a member of the public, raising the possibility of unauthorised tinkering with a system used to access parcels.
The customer tapped the screen to maximise the window, then found no keyboard or accessible socket for connecting a device. Another tap closed the prompt and restored the usual OOHPod interface, allowing the parcel to be collected. The customer left the locker working normally for the next person; the article gives no further details about the cause or any wider disruption.
