Hackers Find Slim Pickings in Washington Post Attack

For the third time in three years, computers at The Washington Post came under attack by hackers, but this time it seems the paper was ready for them. The intrusion targeting the usernames and passwords of Post employees was relatively short in duration -- a few days, at most. No subscriber information -- such as credit card numbers or home addresses -- was accessed. The newspaper's publishing and email systems were not hacked, and the personal information of employees, such as Social Security numbers, was not compromised.
