U.N. Nuclear Agency Says It Was Hacked

The U.N. nuclear watchdog Tuesday acknowledged that one of its servers had been hacked, after the hackers posted the stolen data online earlier this week. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said a previously unknown anti-Israeli group called Parastoo — meaning the swallow bird in Farsi — had posted the contact details of more than 100 nuclear experts on the group's website three days ago.

The IAEA confirmed that the e-mail addresses belonged to experts working with the agency, which is an international organization charged with ending the proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world. It also works on advancing the use of nuclear energy as an alternative means of fuel.

"The IAEA deeply regrets this publication of information stolen from an old server that was shut down some time ago," agency spokesperson Gill Tudor told Reuters. "The IAEA's technical and security teams are continuing to analyze the situation and do everything possible to help ensure that no further information is vulnerable."

There are only five countries in the world permitted to have nuclear weapons, and Parastoo claims that Israel - which is not allowed to amass such weapons - is building them at its Negev Nuclear Research Center near the city of Dimona
