Hacker breaks into MIT website


Despite its vaunted technological knowhow, even the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was not spared from hackers who broke into its website and posted the stolen data online. The hacker named Cyber_Owner broke into MIT's International Liaison Program site (ilp.mit.edu), The Hacker News reported Wednesday. "The flaw would be a SQL injection flaw that would give access to the full database," The Hacker News said. A screenshot of the hacked site showed the names, phone numbers and logins of those in the program. But as of 11 a.m. Wednesday, the MIT site appeared to be back to normal. — TJD, GMA News
