Verisign Admits Company Was Hacked In 2010, Not Sure What Was Stolen 85
mask.of.sanity writes "Verisign admitted it was hacked repeatedly last year and cannot pin down what data was stolen. It says it doesn't believe the Domain Name System servers were hacked but it cannot rule it out. Symantec, which bought its certificate business in 2010, says also that there was no evidence that system was affected. Verisign further admitted in an SEC filing that its security team failed to tell management about the attacks until 2011, despite moving to address the hacks."
What was stolen? (Score:5, Funny)
The letter "i", apparently.

It's the company formerly known as Verisign that has been hacked and had some characters stolen by hackers, including an 'i' in its name.

And twelve months, if we're to believe it was 2010 last year.
