Servers belonging to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) have been breached again, this time with some 2,646 files from the server posted online as proof of the exploit…
According to thehackernews.com, a group named ‘Team Inj3ct0r’ is responsible for the hack, with the reason for the attack being given as the development and financing of nuclear weapons.
In a text file note left on the server, the group said: “NATO lamers! I’ve been watching you day and night since then! W00t! Your Machines rooted! Servers restored to default! what else! F**k you and your crimes! and soon enough all your stupid ideas will be published on WikiLeaks! Greetz.. I stand alone :)”
The attack follows the hacking of a third party NATO bookshop in June. General Rapporteur Lord Jopling of NATO said at the time that “[o]bservers note that Anonymous is becoming more and more sophisticated and could potentially hack into sensitive government, military, and corporate files….Transparency cannot exist without control. The government, and especially its security agencies, must have the right to limit access to information in order to govern and to protect.”
