Hackers Attacked Large Hadron Collider’s Computer System

The brand new Large Hadron Collider was infiltrated by hackers:

Shortly after physicists activated the Collider on Wednesday, hackers identifying themselves as Group 2600 of the Greek Security Team accessed computers connected to the Compact Muon Solenoid detector, one of four key subsystems responsible for monitoring the collisions of protons speeding around the 18-mile track near Geneva, Switzerland.

Since LHC is perhaps the most expensive and complex scientific instrument ever built, this infiltration could be costly in the form of experiment disruptions. Some scientists were even worry that it could create artificial black hole though that is highly unlikely to happen.
