10 Biggest Cyber Attacks In June

LulzSec continued its high-profile hacking spree with an attack against the U.S. Senate's Web site. LulzSec said that they had successfully hacked into the U.S. Senate’s Web site, Senate.gov, and posted ’basic information on the file systems,’ including user names and the Web server config files.

In addition, LulzSec published a list of directory names from the server, but did not appear to post any proprietary or personally identifying information, government officials said.

LulzSec punctuated its cyber attack with a taunt, posted to its Web site. ’This is a small, just-for-kicks release of some internal data from Senate.gov—is this an act of war, gentlemen? Problem?’

Under the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the hack could potentially carry of sentence anywhere between five and 20 years in prison, if the attackers were apprehended and convicted.
