[yeah, not exactly computer related, but it's tech related?]
Hackers hack the LHC but don't cause trouble, kinda makes ya wonder what the bad buys would to if they could.
"Efforts to recreate the 'Big Bang' theory at Cern hit its first roadblock, with scientists admitting that their experiment was hacked into by maverick hackers. These hackers have reportedly mounted an attack on the Large Hadron Collider, which has raised eyebrows over the security of this historic experiment in the world, as it surpasses a vital milestone.
Scientists say that it was a competition between two hacker groups - known in hacking circles as 2600 and 1337, that led them to break into the experiment just before it was to begin. 2600, also known as the Greek Security Team broke into the experiment and left a message saying, "We are 2600.. don't mess with us..." The scientists who were behind the mammoth experiment had received threatening e-mails prior to the start."
