http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2011/05/31/246816/Lockheed-Martin-investigates-possible-link-between-cyber-attack-and-RSA-data.htm By Warwick Ashford ComputerWeekly.com 31 May 2011 US-based global defence firm Lockheed Martin says it has beefed up security around remote access to its IT network after a "significant and tenacious attack" on 21 May, which could be linked to an earlier breach at security firm RSA. Lockheed maintains that its systems remain secure and that no customer, project or employee personal data was compromised in the attack, reported a week after the event. "The company's information security team detected the attack almost immediately, and took aggressive actions to protect all systems and data," Lockheed said in a statement. Lockheed and RSA Security, which supplies access tokens to millions of corporate users, say they are still trying to determine whether the attack used data hackers stole from RSA in March or if it had exploited another weakness, according to the New York Times.
