CERN computers hacked

"HACKERS claim they have broken into the computer system of the Large Hadron Collider, the mega-machine designed to 
expose secrets of the cosmos

A group calling itself the Greek Security Team left a rogue webpage mocking the technicians responsible for computer 
security at the giant atom smasher as "schoolkids",
Britain's Times and Daily Telegraph reported.

The hackers vowed they had no intention of disrupting the experiment at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research 
(CERN) on the Swiss-French border,
they just wanted to highlight the flaws in the computer system's security."
