This is insane. The World Bank has KNOWN that they have been continually hacked for OVER a year, knowing the intruders (who’s IP’s appear to be originating in China, though it could be spoofed) have had full access to data and they’ve not shut down connectivity. Sure, it would cause serious issues, but I would think hostile foreign governments having access to the financial data of the free world might be a bit of a concern. Read the story below;
World Bank Under Cyber Siege
If you notice, the intruders even re-organized the World Bank data to make it easier for them to search and extract. This just blows my mind. I don’t even know what the say. Honestly I would love to know what their perimeter security product is so I make sure not to use it.
