A “sophisticated cyberattack” has been detected at Oak Ridge National Laboratory over the last several weeks, and authorities suspect the hackers are based in China. The breach might have compromised the personal information of thousands of visitors to the lab, according to a communiqué sent to employees. The intrusion is under active investigation by multiple agencies. FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Investigators have not been able to determine whether the attacks came from government or private entities in China. The statement, from Laboratory Director Thom Mason, said the attack “appears to be part of a coordinated attempt to gain access to computer networks at numerous laboratories and other institutions across the country.”
