abstract:The Computer Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering computer science and information systems. It is published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Computer Society.
In the most recent incident, theJournal was notified by the FBI of a potential breach in the middle of last year, when the FBI came across data that apparently had come from thecomputer network in the Journal's Beijing bureau, people familiar with the incident said.
The probe watched where the hackers went within the Journal's computer networks, what information they were interested in and how deeply they had penetrated.
According to a posting on the Journal's Web site, editors at the world's top medical journal found by examining a computer diskette that relevant data about Vioxx's risk to the heart compared with an older pain drug, naproxen, were deleted two days before the paper was initially submitted to theJournal.
