RSA SecureID hackers are linked to a third military contractor
HACKERS MIGHT HAVE ATTACKED a third US military contractor, again using cryptographic identity key data they might have obtained from RSA Security earlier this year.
A source within Northrop Grumman told Fox News that the firm shut down remote access to its network at the end of last month and conducted a complete domain name and password reset. In a statement, the company didn't confirm that it had been hit with a cyber attack, but didn't deny it either.
If this latest hacking incident is confirmed, it will be the third large military contractor in a week that has been said to have suffered an attack, with Lockheed Martin and L-3 Communications being the other two firms to have reportedly encountered hacking attempts.
