THE ABC is investigating claims that one of its websites was hacked by Russian cybercriminals in 2011.

Information security analyst Patrick Gray first published the claim on his blog, risky.biz, saying cybercrooks obtained information from an ABC database, including an encrypted staff password, around October 2011. An ABC spokesman told AAP today that the corporation is investigating the allegation.
