Russian Hackers Placed Digital Bomb In NASDAQ’s Computer System Capable Of Sabotaging Data b4in.org/p6Gf According to a new report, Russian computer hackers managed to sneak a ‘digital bomb’ into the Nasdaq’s computer system that is capable of sabotaging stock market computers and derail the U.S. economy. In the report, published by Bloomberg Businessweek, the ‘cybergrenade’ was never set off. The publication claims that hackers managed to slip into the Nasdaq’s computer network in 2010 by using malware capable of spying and stealing data. The malware could also cause ‘digital destruction.’ Federal officials still aren’t entirely sure who was responsible for the breach. Bloomberg’s report, however, points the finger at the Russian government In response to the report, Russian officials called the claims ‘pure nonsense.’ FBI’s New York Assistant Director in Charge George Venizelos said in a statement to CNN Money that the FBI is still investigating the break in. People familiar with the investigation tell Bloomberg that the person responsible is likely Russian hacker Aleksandr Kalinin. More b4in.org/p6Gf
