Hackers haven&#39;t gained control of the Sun or storm clouds, though they did break into the U.S. National Weather Service&#39;s website and steal sensitive information.<br /> <br /> A group identifying itself as Kosova&#39;s Hacker&#39;s Security is taking credit for the attack via a pastebin.com data dump. The organization pulled off the heist by exploiting a "local file inclusion vulnerability" on the weather.gov servers, supposedly in retaliation for American aggression against Muslim nations, including the release of Flame and Stuxnet malware.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item23025/KHS.jpg" alt="Kosova Hacker&#39;s Security" /> </div> <br /> "They hack our nuclear plants using Stuxnet and Flame like malware, they are bombing us 24/7.

The hacking group says more attacks are to come.<br /></div><div class="newsTextBody" id="dvBody"></div><div class="newsText" id="dvComment"></div>
