Hacker Steals Info On 1,500 Employees From DOE Nuclear Agency
A hacker stole a file containing the names and Social Security numbers of 1,500 people working for the Energy Department's nuclear weapons agency. The cyber break-in happened last September, but the employees were never told and the Secretary of Energy didn't learn about the theft until this week. The data theft occurred in a computer system at a service center belonging to the National Nuclear Security Administration in Albuquerque, N.M.
