Large Hadron Collider Computer,Hacked by Greeks

Digg it !!!


The computer at Large Hadron Collider was hacked by some hackers from Greek.They were targeting a system that was "one step away" from a control computer, but otherwise appear to have done no major damage, according to a report.

The system that was breached monitors the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, which will be analyzing data during subatomic particle collisions in the particle accelerator located along the French-Swiss border. Experiments, which began on Wednesday, are designed to help scientists explore particle physics theories.
Cern Scientists told that hackers left behind half a dozen files, damaged one CERN file, and displayed a Web page with the headline "GST: Greek Security Team," signing off: "We are 2600--don't mess with us,",during the attack.
As a result of the attack, the Web site--cmsmon.cern.ch--was not accessible for about some days.Fears that the experiments could prompt natural disasters or black holes that would swallow Earth have led to threatening phone calls and e-mails, CERN said.Anyway No more damaged caused for Large Haddron Collider due to the attack and the scientist regain full contorl over it.
