MI5 Website Breached By Hacker 71

Posted by CmdrTaco from the because-they-can dept.
Jack Spine writes "UK intelligence agency MI5 has admitted that its website security was breached by hacker group Team Elite. A member of the hacker forum posted details of the hack last week, which took advantage of a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the site's Google embedded search. MI5 admitted the breach on Wednesday, but said that the flaw had not been exploited maliciously."

    any "l33t hax0r" in the house brave enought to try this shit on the NSA ?

    considering that i never heard of any snafu from those guys, either their pretty good at sevuring their stuff, or incredibly efficient at snuffing anyone who tries it before news get to public.

    sincerely, i don't know which one is the scariest scenario.
