Royal Navy Website Hacked, Passwords Revealed 114

Posted by CmdrTaco from the injection-infection dept.
An anonymous reader writes "The British Royal Navy's website has been suspended after a Romanian hacker exploited SQL injection vulnerabilities to gain access to the site. The hacker, named 'TinKode,' accessed usernames and passwords used by the site's administrators and published them on the web. TinKode's attack is 'particularly embarrassing for the British Ministry of Defence, as just last month protecting against cyber attacks was declared in the National Security Strategy to be a "highest priority for UK national security."'"

Most of the Lord of the Rings was absolutely brilliant, but that section was mostly boring and tedious, doing little to advance the story.

It does a ton to advance the reader's attachment to the hobbits, as well as a lot toward distancing (literally) the Shire from the outside world.

If the hobbits leave Farmer Maggot's, cross a river, and find themselves walking in the front doors of Rivendell with a "Hey we found a cool sword and a pony on the way! Oh, and this creepy Ranger guy." it's no where near as impressive a journey.
