Recently, the website for the Center of Disease Control and Prevention has been attacked by a computer virus. While the virus’ intention was to infect computers of the visitors who browsed to the site, people at CDC do not think any sensitive information was compromised.

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are concerned about a different kind of virus — a computer one.

Hackers broke into the C-D-C’s Web site last week and planted a virus that could have infected visitors’ computers. C-D-C officials said the hacking was concentrated to the agency’s podcast site — which has audio and video clips on a variety of public health topics — and they do not think any sensitive information was compromised.[more]
