Romanian hacker cracks into European Space Agency servers

Newsroom 19/04/2011 | 14:14

A Romanian hacker going under the code name TinKode cracked into the servers of the European Space Agency (ESA) and posted details of dozens of ESA online accounts, including the main root account for the agency’s website and 13 file-transfer-protocol (FTP) server accounts, according to Yahoo! News.

 It seems the hacker is not at the first ploy of this type, previously having cracked into servers at NASA, the Royal Navy, the U.S. Army and YouTube.

 However, representatives of the agency downplayed the event, saying that “the main website was not affected and this has had no effect at all on our internal network.” Read more on the issue here.
