Hacked. Top government websites in this country and elsewhere are crippled불구의. But the Feds don't know where the attack came from. And it's not just computers that are at risk. Good evening. When we talk about national security, we're usually thinking about troops and tanks, and ships and planes, hardware and not software. But our lead story tonight may change that thinking. Our nation's been hit by a major attack in its computer-based 35 important websites. Government and private sector, have been hit and hit badly in the US and South Korea since July 4^th.

Among the targets were the NYSE and NASDAQ, both of which say they successfully fought it off. But it swarmed떼를 짖다 to public websites of at least a dozen US government agencies including the White House.
