Royal Navy Website Hacked, Passwords Revealed 114
An anonymous reader writes "The British Royal Navy's website has been suspended after a Romanian hacker exploited SQL injection vulnerabilities to gain access to the site.
The hacker, named 'TinKode,' accessed usernames and passwords used by the site's administrators and published them on the web. TinKode's attack is 'particularly embarrassing for the British Ministry of Defence, as just last month protecting against cyber attacks was declared in the National Security Strategy to be a "highest priority for UK national security."'"

It's okay! This was only a simulation [slashdot.org], right?

Giving anyone free reign to embed said trojans into the site is only marginally better. Assuming of course that it could be done with the exposed admin logins. Now they're forced to go through pretty much everything to make sure no such traps were placed or if information was stolen.
The mischevious option would have been to remain only parts of the passwords, or otherwise proving it and not leaking anything sensitive.
Not to worry however, I'm sure he'll get 60 years in jail without parole for embarrassing the wrong people.
