BBC computer server 'was controlled' by Russian hacker
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25547738
A Russian hacker took control of a BBC computer server and attempted to sell access to it to other cybercriminals, according to reports.
US firm Hold Security told Reuters and the Financial Times that it had spotted the hacker advertising the exploit on a black market forum last week.
It said it was not clear whether the attacker secured a sale before the broadcaster reacted.
A BBC spokesman said: "We do not comment on security issues."
The server was allegedly compromised via the file-transfer site ftp.bbc.co.uk.
The corporation had previously listed a log-on and password for the service on its news website in 2002 to allow the public to upload video and audio messages marking the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
BBC reporters had also historically used the server as a way to send in their own material.
More recently the facility has been used to allow advertisers to send in media files for use on the BBC Worldwide Channels.
'Jumping off point'
According to Milwaukee-based Hold Security, the hacker used the pseudonyms "Hash" and "Rev0lver", and publicised the vulnerability on 25 December.
The firm said the attacker provided copies of files that supposedly could only be accessed by someone controlling the site as "proof" that the exploit worked.
"The only other information that I can offer is that the hacker was offering a screenshot proving that he had administrative access to the BBC server," said Alex Holden, chief information security officer at Hold Security.
"It was solid technically convincing evidence."
