Another Oops gets bigger.
Deloitte
hack hit server containing emails from across US government
The hack into the accountancy giant Deloitte
compromised a server that contained the emails of an estimated 350
clients, including four US government departments, the United Nations
and some of the world’s biggest multinationals, the Guardian has
been told.
Sources with knowledge of the hack say the
incident was potentially more widespread than Deloitte has been
prepared to acknowledge and that the company cannot be 100% sure what
was taken.
… The Guardian has established that a host of
clients had material that was made vulnerable by the hack, including:
• The US
departments of state, energy, homeland security and defence.
• The US Postal Service.
• The National Institutes of Health.
• “Fannie Mae” and “Freddie Mac”, the
housing giants that fund and guarantee mortgages in the US.
Imagine a North Korean leader who was largely
ignorant of US and South Korean capabilities discovering that he is
in fact a primary target.
Jamie Seidel reports:
Top secret war plans are among a host of classified military documents reportedly stolen by North Korean hackers in a ‘raid’ on a secure defence data centre last year.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reports Operational Plan 5015 — the most up-to-date blueprint for a US/South Korean war with Pynongyang, including a ‘decapitation strike’ against Kim Jong-un — was among the classified material seized by Pyongyang.
If true, this represents a serious blow to diplomatic and military efforts to counter the heretic state’s increasingly hostile posture.
