A brazen hacker attacked the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission website
yesterday, littering it with dozens of photographs of a nuclear explosion
and raising concerns about the security of information held by the nation's
nuclear watchdog.

The incident was discovered about 3 p.m. by a Citizen reporter. All of the
commission's current and archived news releases, dating back to 1998, were
renamed as "security breaches" and, when opened, a colour photograph of a
fiery mushroom cloud appeared under the heading "For Immediate Release."

An accompanying caption read: "Please dont (sic) put me in jail......oops,
I divided by zero."

The pages were disabled minutes after the newspaper contacted the agency.
