U.S. Says Iran Hacked Navy Computers
(Wall Street Journal) Julian E. Barnes and Siobhan Gorman - U.S. officials said Iran hacked unclassified Navy computers in recent weeks. The Iranian intruders penetrated a computer network used for email and the service's internal intranet. The attacks were carried out by hackers working for Iran's government or by a group acting with the approval of Iranian leaders. The officials didn't believe Iranian agents stole information of significant value, but the incident showed a more potent Iranian hacking capability than previously believed. "Iran is very active," said James Lewis, a cybersecurity specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "They're better than we thought....They're getting help from the Russians."
