Could be some 16 year old download a trojan or worm and found an IP addy. What is a cyber attack anyway?

According to the Daily Telegraph, MPs were alerted to the hack on Friday night and later reported problems accessing their email accounts

Christ, an email server is down, or someone did indeed forget their password and they are calling it a cyber attack.

Encryption is still the problem. If there was no passwords they wouldn't have any issues accessing their email accounts.

Interesting article here on how these attacks are going to get more and more common thanks to the NSA stockpiling exploits and hacking tools, only to have them leaked.

If we've been hacked, there's a chance we may not even know it as 99% of the tools used to detect them weren't able to pick up on the hacking tools used in this article

[adolf hamster]

and yet the "i have nothing to hide" brigade will still be defending the conservatives "spy on all the people and keep it on nice safe government servers" internet plans.....

it was gonna happen, fingers crossed nothing of black-mailable value was stolen this time, unless it related to mp's in which case i don't care what depraved crap they've been up to outside of work.
