United Nations is latest hacking target

A group of hackers who have identified themselves as 'Teampoison' have posted more than 100 email addresses and login details that they claim to have extracted from a United Nations database.
Many of the released emails appear to belong to members of the United Nations Development Programme, (UNDP).
The details were posted on the website Pastebin under the Teampoison logo.
A spokeswoman for the UNDP said the agency believed "an old server which contains old data" had been targeted.
"The UNDP found [the] compromised server and took it offline," said Sausan Ghosheh.
"The server goes back to 2007. There are no active passwords listed for those accounts.
"Please note that UNDP.org was not compromised."
