Hackers Attack Large Hadron Collider
Techtree News Staff, Sep 13, 2008 0843 hrs IST"One step away" from hacking into a detector
Hackers came very close to hacking all the way to the core of the Large Hadron Collider's central computer system.
A Greek group calling itself the Greek Security Team had hacked into the facility and left a page displaying their success at it. "We are 2600 - dont mess with us", read the message. The hackers attacked the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, or CMS, one of the four "eyes" of the facility that will be analysing the fallout of the Big Bang experiment. Scientists at CERN said they were "one step away" from the computer control system of one of the huge detectors of the machine -- probably ALICE (see the video here to know more on how LHC works).
