Hacker Breaks into Website of Canadian Nuclear Agency
Ian MacLeod writes in The Ottawa Citizen:
A brazen hacker attacked the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission website yesterday, littering it with dozens of photographs of a nuclear explosion and raising concerns about the security of information held by the nation's nuclear watchdog.More here.
The incident was discovered about 3 p.m. by a Citizen reporter. All of the commission's current and archived news releases, dating back to 1998, were renamed as "security breaches" and, when opened, a colour photograph of a fiery mushroom cloud appeared under the heading "For Immediate Release."
An accompanying caption read: "Please dont (sic) put me in jail......oops, I divided by zero."
The pages were disabled minutes after the newspaper contacted the agency.
