Energy lab still offline in wake of July 1 attack

July 12, 2011

Ten days after being targeted by what a spokesman called a “highly sophisticated cyber attack,” the Energy Department’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., remains cut off from most of its Internet access as staff works to find and correct problems.

Internal e-mail and intranet services and some external services were restored last week, but the lab’s Web site at www.pnnl.gov remained down July 11 and the lab still has no Internet connection.
