An NSA spokesperson told ABC News the agency’s internal network was “not at all” compromised and no classified information was in danger. The NSA spokesperson declined to comment on what may have brought down the website, citing an ongoing probe.
In addition to the DDoS, hackers also exploited http://nsa.gov with a 0day in order to gain login credentials for their server.
