Hackers reportedly broke into and installed password-stealing programs on a number of servers belonging to insurance giant The Hartford. The 200-year-old, 28,000 employee strong company sent a letter of warning to some 300 employees, contractors and a small number of customers. The company has offered to pay for two years of credit monitoring for all those affected. The W32-Qakbot Trojan is believed to be the piece of malware believed to have delivered this attack. The attack took place between Feb. 22 and 28 and only affects individuals that logged into one of the infected servers.
