Hacker takes down CIA website


Hackers claiming affiliation with Anonymous are taking credit for taking down the CIA’s public site, exposing personal data from Alabama court records and pilfering e-mails from the Mexican mining agency, according to news reports. Other hackers hit the United Nations’ site.
The CIA main site (cia.gov) is unavailable and apparently has been down for several hours as the result of a distributed-denial-of-service attack.

 A spokesman told CNN the agency was “looking into these reports.” There’s no indication hackers penetrated CIA computers or accessed sensitive information.
