European Central Bank Web Site Breached; 20,000 Email Addresses Stolen

The European Central Banks (ECB) web site has been breached by cybercriminals and the e-mails and contact details of 20,000 people were stolen. The ECB says its internal system is physically separate from its contacts database and no other sensitive data was lost. Most of the stored data was encrypted, except email addresses, phone numbers and some street addresses that were stored in plain-text. German police are investigating, as the Frankfurt-based ECB falls under its jurisdiction.”]
