Top US government research labs infiltrated by hackers
Hackers successfully infiltrated Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), one of the nation's leading government-run research facilities. The attackers gained access by sending e-mails infected with trojan horses to ORNL employees. The lab claims that no classified information was retrieved, but admits that the perpetrators managed to acquire a database containing personal information about ORNL visitors and employees, including Social Security numbers. picked by leopoldogolba 12 months ago
