Big Bang experiment hacked
The hackers reportedly managed to compromise the machines and left a message saying, ?We are Group 2600. Don't mess with us.? Though no major damage was done but they deleted only one file from the system.
A GROUP of hackers popularly known as the Group 2600 almost broke into the computer systems of the historic Large Hadron Collider project, which is under way in Europe on the Franco-Swiss border.
The hackers reportedly managed to compromise the machines and left a message saying, "We are Group 2600. Don’t mess with us." Though no major damage was done but they deleted only one file from the system.
Scientists, however, admitted that they were only one step away from the main machine, Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, or CMS, which controls equipment crucial for the experiment.
If the hackers had managed to enter the second computer network, they could have turned off many parts of the experimental machine. Sources said that hackers breached CMSMON system that monitors data during the experiment.
