p2pnet.net News:- The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission web site was hacked yesterday with current and archived the commission news releases back to 1998 renamed as “security breaches”.

When they were opened, “colour photograph of a fiery mushroom cloud appeared under the heading ‘For Immediate Release’,” says The Ottawa Citizen.

“An accompanying caption read: ‘Please dont (sic) put me in jail……oops, I divided by zero’,” says the story, going on that one of the newspaper’s reporters discovered the hack.

“The pages were disabled minutes after the newspaper contacted the agency,” it says, quoting commission spokesman Aurele Gervais as saying the attack was limited to the public media section and that “no internal information” was compromised.

“It is not known how the hacker was able to gain access,” adds the Citizen.
