Hacker in US nuclear energy department

People on such important places like the department of nucler energy in the USA should care a bit more about their security - A hacker stole a file containing the names and Social Security numbers of 1,500 people working for the Department of Energy’s nuclear weapons agency. The data theft occurred in a computer system at an Albuquerque service center belonging to the National Nuclear Security Administration. The incident happened last September, but senior officials were informed only three days ago.

Linton Brooks, an administrator at the agency, said during a House hearing that he learned of the security breach late in September, but did not inform Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman about it. It had occurred earlier that month. Brooks blamed a misunderstanding for not informing either Bodman or Clay Sell, the deputy energy secretary. File contained names, Social Security numbers, birth dates , a code indicating where the employees worked, and codes showing their security clearances.
