The New York Times Co. on Wednesday confirmed that the
internal network of its flagship
newspaper was hit by a security breach.
The breach that hit The New York Times
was first reported by
SecurityFocus Online, a site that
contains content about security issues.
An article there said a hacker gained
access to data ranging from
employee names and social security
numbers to delivery records.
The report also said the hacker was
able to tap into a database of sources
and see the Social Security numbers and
home phone numbers for
luminaries including former U.N.
weapons inspector Richard Butler and
actor Robert Redford.
