Hackers Launch Major Attack on US Military Labs :: NTA
Pretty scary story and I’m amazed it’s not getting more attention. Two of this country’s major military and nuclear weapons labs have been breached by hackers. Authorities say that the attackers may be located in China but there is no direct evidence.
Although only 2 locations have been named, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, others including Lawrence Livermore Labs, say the have blocked recent attempts.
The possibility that the latest attacks were the work of fraudsters will be seen by some as optimistic less positive would be the possibility of a rival government having been involved. Given the apparently coordinated nature of events, speculation will inevitably point to this scenario, with the data theft a cover motivation for more serious incursions.
