Embassy E-mails Hacked

A Swedish computer security consultant, after stumbling onto information for accounts belonging to a handful of major corporations, posted the information online in hopes of prompting the companies in question to take corrective action.

Egerstad told Computer Sweden: "I did an experiment and came across the information by accident." He said he tried contacting a few of the administrators responsible for the sites he posted, but so far they have all ignored him. He hopes that by posting the information the agencies will take corrective action.
