Hackers

An executive at defense giant L-3 Communications warned employees this spring that hackers were targeting the company using inside information on the SecurID keyfob system freshly stolen from an acknowledged breach at RSA Security.

“L-3 Communications has been actively targeted with penetration attacks leveraging the compromised information,” read an April 6 e-mail from an executive at L-3’s Stratus Group to the group’s 5,000 workers, one of whom shared the contents with Wired.com on condition of anonymity.

Just days after hacking the PBS servers, the hacker group that calls itself LulzSec says its is turning its attentions to Sony.
