A Federal Reserve spokesperson confirmed a temporary security breach of its computers to The Huffington Post on Tuesday morning.

"Information was obtained by exploiting a temporary vulnerability in a website vendor product," the spokesperson told HuffPost in a phone interview, adding that the problem was "fixed after discovery and is no longer an issue."

According to the spokesperson, who asked not to be identified by name, the breach "did not affect critical operations."

The confirmation comes in the wake of a claim by hacker group Anonymous on Sunday that it had stolen sensitive information on 4,000 American bank executives from Federal Reserve computers.

Although the security breach has now been confirmed, the spokesperson called Anonymous' claim "overstated," and would not comment on the nature of the data obtained other than to confirm that contact information was taken.

Earlier this week, ZDNet reported that "login information ... credentials, IP addresses, and contact information of American bank executives" were listed in a spreadsheet posted to a government site that Anonymous had hacked.

Even if the breach might not have been as serious as publicized by Anonymous, it is the first actual leak of information achieved by the group's Operation Last Resort. Launched in January, OpLastResort is the Anonymous response to the suicide of Internet activist Aaron Swartz. The group demands "reform of computer crime laws" and investigation of "overzealous prosecutors."

Federal Reserve computers have been hacked before. In 2010, a Malaysian man was arrested in a credit card scheme after managing to hack into and damage 10 computers associated with a Federal Reserve training system, Bloomberg News reported at the time. However, no data or information was accessed or compromised in that attack, a spokeswoman told Bloomberg.

In 2011, Federal Reserve developers discovered a cross-scripting bug in Adobe ColdFusion software, which is used by some Federal Reserve Bank websites. Such cross-site scripting allows an attacker to gain high-level access privileges to sensitive information by way of injecting malicious client-side scripts.

"Web developers working for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta discovered the cross-site scripting vulnerability as part of an internal development project," ThreatPost, an Internet security blog, reported at the time.

In December 2011, Adobe released a patch for ColdFusion that fixed weaknesses it said could be exploited in "a cross-site scripting attack."

In an e-mail to HuffPost, Adobe senior communications manager Wiebke Lips wrote that the company could not comment on the specific breach confirmed Tuesday by the Federal Reserve. According to Lips, a patch released Jan. 15 by Adobe "addressed four vulnerabilities" that had been observed in active attacks against ColdFusion customers.

"These types of attacks are often referred to as 'zero-days' because a fix is not available at the time of the attack," Lips wrote. "As soon as these vulnerabilities were reported to Adobe, we immediately addressed them in the software and provided the fix."

According to an Adobe security bulletin, the recent patch for ColdFusion fixed loopholes that could have enabled a hacker to "circumvent authentication controls, potentially allowing the attacker to take control of the affected server ... could result in information disclosure from a compromised server."

Although it is unclear whether hackers used the recently patched vulnerabilities as a vector for attack, if a third party gained access to sensitive information through ColdFusion, it would follow that computers belonging to the Federal Reserve may have been compromised because their software was not up-to-date.

The Federal Reserve spokesperson would not elaborate on its security systems other than to say that measures against attacks were "absolutely" in place.

My bank is FDIC backed and the value of the US dollar is tied to the federal reserve. The $0.00 in your bank account might have been a little extreme but you get the point.

As a pornographer....
I support both occupy and annonymous.

The occupy mouvement proved to be a good place to recruit enviromentally minded un-shaved young women.

And Annonymous membres tend to be jobless young men with no social lives. I found that putting some money in the pockets of some of membres provides me with essential information that I need to protect my product.

As for my personal opinion on anonymous and occupy.....

When I look back at the 1960s and compare my generation of hippies to this generation of webkiddies. Everything from sex without marriage to equal rights, the hippies kicked the establishment in the balls. All gouvernements still fear that they might return. So I can only sigh disgustedly at how completely usless and pathetic webkiddies are

Democracy and justices is in the streets

.

No amount of hacking will ever bring about justice or democracy. And occupying a park for several weeks of blogging and facebooking with the homeless only makes those doing it look like a fucking joke.

Hey at least they're trying.

More than anyone can say about all but a handful of their counterparts from the mid 70's until shortly after the financial collapse.

I participated in the Paris riots of 1968. Then later back in my own nation I got beaten for protesting. Several years later I donated money, my skills and time for 2 referendums. In fact my entire career was born out of the entire hippie make love not war philosophy. (I wanted to create a new genre of non violent entertainment)

So I would hardly say what they are doing could even be considered "trying."

But I do agree with you on one thing. The babyboomers of the mid 1970s are a fault for everything happening today.

Generation Woodstock was never the problem. The problem is its younger brother... Generation Disco. Essentially "That 70s show is in power" and today's problems are caused by people that were like Hyde, Kelso and Erick Foreman.

Think about it... No one would trust Hyde, Kelso or Erick Foreman to babysit their house cat but here they are in control of entire nations. Personally I would rather see someone like Wavey Gravey in control instead of these disco ducks.

generation woodstock gave up and sold out. where have you been?? not to mention sucked up all the world's resources, enjoyed the most prosperous time in history only to make it collapse before getting out. the baby boomers of 46-64 really fucked things up for those of us who still have to try to make a life in this world.

Pot smokers are a small part of any generation, and yes you wouldn't let them babysit your house plant but they hardly define a generation. The preppies of the Reagan era will soon be in power and things will change.

no I have only been to the United States a handful of times. The only time in the 1960s I was in the United States I hitched hiked across your nation and stayed with Emmett Grogan. A girl I was dating took me as her date to his wedding in Montréal. I met Emmett there and he invited me to visit. So I did and it was a very...... Coool experience.

After that it has only been for very occaisional business.
