The U.S. Sergeant at Arms Office confirmed Monday that the Senate's
website had been hacked this past weekend and that it has ordered a
review of all Senate computer sites.

"Although this intrusion is inconvenient, it does not compromise the
security of the Senate's network, its members or staff," a Sergeant at
Arms Office official said. "Specifically, there is no individual user
account information on the server supporting senate.gov that could
have been compromised."
