From the news article: 

It takes Viktor Engström, a student at the KTH Ethical Hacking Center, no more than five minutes to show how he can hack his way into an unknown mobile phone. The king, queen, and crown princess seem to express both surprise and shock at how easy this apparently is.

Abstract:

To live is to be vulnerable. The fact of our fragility has been laid bare in some of the crises we face in public life in the United States: an uncontained pandemic, relentless racist violence, and persistent and worsening ecological loss. This essay argues that although education has sometimes promised (even obliquely) an economic, political, or even spiritual escape from vulnerability, religious education should instead nurture loving awareness of vulnerability and, in light of that knowledge, the resilience and courage to love the world.
