World Bank Denies Fox News Reports of Multiple Breaches

By Marc Handelman on October 10th, 2008

UPDATE: InformationWeek’s Thomas Claburn reports the World Banks’ apparent denial of all allegations and reports of penetrations to their secured infrastructure.

Download further supporting documents from the Infosecurity.US Public Documents Repository via the links after the jump.

From the post: “The World Bank’s computer network has been repeatedly raided by hackers for over a year, according to a Fox News report.

But a World Bank spokesperson insists the Fox report is inaccurate. “The story is fundamentally wrong,” the spokesperson said in an e-mail. “It is riddled with falsehoods and errors and cites misinformation from unattributed sources and e-mails that are taken out of context.”
