    "Unknown attackers used a spearphishing campaign to compromise
     sensitive systems operated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned
     Names and Numbers (ICANN), a coup that allowed them to take control of
     employee e-mail accounts and access personal information of people
     doing business with the group."
