IBM Sued Over Hacked e-Mail Server

Robert McMillan writes on InfoWorld:

A Washington, D.C., law firm has sued IBM, claiming that the computing giant is responsible for a 2005 attack on its e-mail server.

Butera & Andrews claims that an unknown IBM employee attempted to attack its e-mail server in November of last year, shortly after the law firm discovered that its computer had been taken over by an unknown attacker. Security investigators traced the source of the attack to a computer within IBM's Cornwallis Road facility in Durham, North Carolina, the law firm alleges.
