Hackers Break Into Two U.S. Science Labs

Hackers have succeeded in breaking into the computer systems of two of the United States' most important science labs, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. In what a spokesperson for the Oak Ridge facility described as a "sophisticated cyber attack," it appears that intruders accessed a database of visitors to the Tennessee lab between 1990 and 2004, which included their Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
