You do realise the LHC is just a gigantic microwave?
Just like the ones that have been used in the past..

Rofl, there are alot of people that can hack many things, that would be harder to hack than this.

This was probably one of the more easier things for a hacker to hack.

Just to let everyone who did not read the source know, they had the chance to hack the network for the LHC but did not.

[Kyle!]

So they hacked a webserver? I fail to see how this could have endangered the LHC.

The reason is quite simple. The hackers had the chance to **** about with the detectors (CMS and ATLAS) and could basically **** about with their configuration and ruin the project for years.

Thats why the project director was worried.

Fortunately, only one file was damaged but one of the scientists firing off emails as the CMS team fought off the hackers said it was a "scary experience".

Exactly, it even has massive buttons. And they're going to use it to cook a giant turkey to save world hunger.
