Hackers got into 18 computer servers at World Bank Cyberintruders used the Internet to crack into at least 18 computer servers at the World Bank Group last July.The intrusion, revealed Friday in a FoxNews.com story by veteran investigative reporter Richard Behar, underscores how relentlessly criminals probe corporate IT systems, especially banks, say tech-security experts. "The sophistication, resolve and organization of cybercriminals are growing exponentially," says Tom Kellerman, vice president of security awareness at Core Security Technologies. Kellerman served as a senior risk-management specialist at the World Bank from 2000 to 2006; he helped set up the bank's cyberdefenses. "Every financial organization is under siege," he says. World Bank spokesman Carl Hanlon confirmed the authenticity of bank memos obtained by Behar describing how bank officials discovered — and reacted to — the cyberbreak-in. "The bottom line is that at no point was any sensitive information accessed," Hanlon said in a phone interview. For the full article, check the source. |
