Unknown hackers have broken into the security networks of Lockheed Martin Corp and several other U.S. military contractors, a source with direct knowledge of the attacks told Reuters.

NIIT Technologies GIS subsidiary 's server hacked by Tigers of Indian Cyber (TIC) A server belonging to NIIT GIS Limited, an NIIT Technologies subsidiary, was compromised last week using a SQL injection attack by a hacking group calling itself the 'Tigers of Indian Cyber' (TIC). TIC posted the disclosure in an open security forum giving proof of concept, and a complete list of account credentials. It has since come to light that NIIT GIS' server was compromised — not the servers at NIIT Technologies. The breach was independently verified by Omair, a security consultant with Network Intelligence India (NII). Omair said that the hack was genuine, and was verified with the link posted by TIC as proof of concept. "The executed query enumerates expected information from the database tables," says Omair.

Internet Explorer vulnerable to Cookie-jacking A security researcher has devised an attack that remotely steals digital credentials used to access user accounts on Facebook and other websites by exploiting a flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. Independent researcher Rosario Valotta demonstrated his "cookiejacking" proof of concept last week at the Hack in the Box security conference in Amsterdam. It exploits a flaw that's present in all current versions of IE to steal session cookies that Facebook and other websites issue once a user has entered a valid password and corresponding user name. The cookie acts as a digital credential that allows the user to access a specific account. The proof of concept code specifically targets cookies issued by Facebook, Twitter and Google Mail, but Valotta said the technique can be used on virtually any website and affects all versions of Windows. "You can steal any cookie," he told The Register. "There is a huge customer base...
