IMF hit by now in the hacking epidemic

[Gary]

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says it has been targeted by a sophisticated cyber attack.

Officials at the fund gave few details but said the attack earlier this year had been "a very major breach" of its systems, the New York Times reports.

Cyber security officials said the hack was designed to install software to create a "digital insider presence".

The IMF, which holds sensitive economic data about many countries, said its operations were fully functional.

The cyber attack took place over several months, and happened before former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested over sexual assault charges. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13740591 or for the lulz I'm sure

Funny how there's been an increased incidence of high profile targets being hacked since everyone has started banging on about cloud computing isn't it?

Funny you should mention that, I've often entered Sue in a one person wet T shirt competition when I've had a hose in my hand.
