IMF Computer System Hit by Foreign Cyber-Attack
Bloomberg reports the International Monetary Fund’s computer system was targeted by hackers, believed to be connected to a foreign government. The hackers retrieved e-mails and other documents, according to a person familiar with the attack. Internal IMF memos obtained by Bloomberg warned employees to be on their guard after a computer at the fund was “compromised.” The IMF detected some suspicious file transfers, and the subsequent investigation established that a Fund desktop computer had been compromised and used to access some Fund systems.
