ECB hacked: 20,000 e-mail addresses stolen

The European Central Bank is a little embarrassed after hackers stole 20,000 e-mail addresses and other contact information.

The ECB said no financial information or market data had been stolen, and the database affected was separate from all its internal systems.
The database serves parts of the ECB website that gather registrations for events such as conferences and visits. While most of the data were encrypted, e-mail addresses, some street addresses and phone numbers were not.
