Security & Hacking: International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Hacked

http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/11/29/atomic-energy-hack/

"The hackers claimed the security breach was in response to what the group said was Israeli aggression, including the Stuxnet worm and the assassination of a senior Iranian nuclear scientist."

The Hackers are claiming to be from Iran, but AFAIK no evidence to support that, it could be an anti Iran group pretending to be Iran in an attempt to provoke more attacks or sanctions against Iran.

Not saying that it is, but that is a factor that always needs to be remembered in situations like these.

I do wonder though if this is one of the first visible signs of fallout of Stuxnet & Flame, something I am concerned about, have blogged about those concerns before http://cliffsesportcorner.blogspot.com/2012/11/security-hacking-chevron-was-victim-of.html
