"NATO Investigating Breach, Leak of Internal Documents"

NATO is currently investigating claims by a politically motivated hacktivist group that it breached the defense alliance’s computer systems.  If confirmed, it would mark the second time in the last three months that the group known as SiegedSec has broken into NATO systems.  On Saturday, SiegedSec claimed on its Telegram channel that it had stolen roughly 3,000 NATO documents and posted six screenshots allegedly showing access to various NATO web pages.  According to SiegedSec, the files from the attack come from the Joint Advanced Distributed Learning platform, the NATO Lessons Learned Portal, the Logistics Network Portal, the Communities of Interest Cooperation Portal, and the NATO Standardization Office.  The group claimed the 3,000 stolen files total more than nine gigabytes of data.  In July, SiegedSec posted a link to roughly 700 files stolen from the NATO Community of Interest Cooperation Portal, an unclassified information sharing and collaboration site maintained by the international agency.
