PBS Web Servers Hacked

PBS Web Servers Hacked - fake news story and user login information published!

I share these security breach stories to inform and teach. My hope is that business leaders will give more thought, priority, and budget to security measures. The threat is real, and "black hats are honing in on lower-tier business targets—organizations with less savvy, maturity and investment in countermeasures." (Verizon Report: Hackers Target Small Businesses)

Late Sunday night, hackers gained access to several areas of PBS Web servers and were able publish a fake news story on a PBS news blog. The hackers also published PBS internal user login information that they were able to siphon from PBS databases.
