JUNE:

Hacker gang Swagger Security made the headlines again in the month of June. This time they breached into Warner Bros. and China Telecom. After the breach the gang released certain sensitive documents and login credentials. "Fortunately for them, we did not destroy their infrastructure and rendered [stet] millions of customers without communications," Swagger Security, also known as SwaggSec, said in a note.

Later that month, over 6.5 million customer details such as login information, personal details and contact numbers from LinkedIn servers were stolen and posted online. This breach really bought the social website to an all time low on service. The company later announced that they will be sending emails to users whose passwords are being compromised.

Right after the LinkedIn saga, online dating website e-Harmony confirmed a data breach of over 1.5 million passwords.

June was also the month where the world got a glimpse of a sophisticated cyber weapon, Stuxnet. An article from the New York Times stated that this weapon was directly authorized under the president, aimed at the Iranian oil facilities. This created a huge controversy in Washington. Later that month, another cyber weapon, Flame was discovered and the irony was that it had some strong connections with Stuxnet. Both had similar structure and the targets where almost the same.
