If you felt a little bit foolish last time you were taken advantage of by a cunning hacker, give yourself a break: It even happens to the guys who know what they’re doing. In what could be called the computer equivalent of a break-in at the police station, databases at the computer security company Kaspersky were hacked last weekend.
The company, known for its Kaspersky Anti-Virus suite, received a letter from hackers on Saturday morning warning of an impending threat before the site was hacked around noon, and restored by Kaspersky to an older version only minutes later, according to the timeline given by USA Today.
