Hacker breaks into website of Canadian nuclear agency

According to the Ottowa 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."

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."

Hopefully the network admins for the Canadian nuclear authorities know better than to have the webserver attached to a LAN which would hold sensitive information. That's why ancient cities built walls. Graffiti on the outside of the walls doesn't affect the people inside.
