Hackers Post Embassy, Government E-mail Accounts Online

The governments can’t be safe. Computer Sweden has learned that hackers have posted online username and passwords of over 100 email accounts belonging to embassies and governments.

According to Computer Sweden, the online information consists of access information of foreign ministries of Iran and Kazakhstan and Indian embassies in the US and Russian embassy in Sweden.

Computer Sweden said it spoke to freelance security consultant Dan Egerstad of Sweden who posted the information on the net. "I did an experiment and came across the information by accident," he said. He however denied sneaking into any of the government servers.
