Nato is assessing the impact of a data breach of classified military documents being sold by a hacker group online. Criminal hackers are selling the dossiers after stealing data linked to a major European weapons maker. The pan-European company, which is headquartered in France, said its information was hacked from a compromised external hard drive, adding that it was cooperating with authorities in Italy, where the data breach took place. Cyber criminals, operating on Russian and English forums, are selling 80GB of the stolen data for 15 Bitcoins (approximately £273,000) and claimed to have sold the stash to at least one unknown buyer so far. Do you that information war is the greatest threat to the world security ?
