“The Telegraph reports that Greek hackers were able to gain momentary access to a CERN computer system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) while the first particles were zipping around the particle accelerator on September 10th. “
With all this nonsense about the LHC right now, this article is not a big surprise:

In my personal opinion this article is somewhat lurid; I totally question that anyone could break into LHC(island-system) or vaguely understand how the system works/could be manipulated.
Update: Although the story already seems to have disappeared from the media, an article in the German newspaper Die Zeit aptly summed up the official report of CERN – which made once again clear that solely a web server was compromised (a plain script kiddie’s site-defacement).
