Latest hack on PBS news site is the best hack ever

Tupac Shakur is alive! Not. Check off the main news website for the Public Broadcasting System, PBS News Hour, as the latest victim of a hacking attempt that has interrupted the site’s main activity. Hackers from “LulzSec” were able to break into the site and posted a fake story that said rapper Tupac Shakur was still alive.

This is (now) the third high-profile cyber attack in a little more than a month on important computer networks that are increasingly seeming vulnerable to cyber attacks. A cyber attack on Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) led to hackers stealing sensitive information from potentially more than 100 million PSN and Station.com users. Hackers were able to break into Sony’s network on April 19, forcing the company to bring it down and beef up security.

Defense contractor Lockheed Martin was also hit by a cyber attack last week, but the company said it successfully fended off the “tenacious and significant attack” and said no information was compromised. While sensitive information about 100 million consumers was at risk during the PSN attack, sensitive information about defense contracts and advanced technology could have been at risk during the attack on Lockheed Martin’s private network.
