ICANN hacked -- again!
http://thehackernews.com/2015/08/icann-hacked.html
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) -
the organisation responsible for allocating domain names and IP
addresses for the Internet - has been hacked, potentially
compromising its customers' names, email addresses, hashed
passwords, and more. The US-administered non-profit corporation
admitted on Wednesday that its server security was breached
within the past week and that ... an "unauthorised person"
gained access to usernames, email addresses, and encrypted
passwords for profile accounts on ICANN.org public website.
The organisation believes that the leaked information includes
harmless information such as user preferences, public
biographies, interests, newsletters, and subscriptions.
