Microsoft Windows NT Users Targeted by Hackers, Experts Say San Diego, March 4 (Bloomberg) -- Computers running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT software crashed from coast to coast, mostly in government and university offices, because of an attack by hackers using the Internet last night, the Associated Press reported, citing computer security experts. The hackers distributed deliberately malformed data that exploits a glitch in the Windows NT program by instructing the computer to devote excessive memory to a problem that can't be solved, said Ron Broersma, a civilian computer security expert for the Navy. While no real damage was done, problems were reported at seven universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and four University of California campuses, and on unclassified Navy computers at several locations, including Point Loma and Charleston, South Carolina, AP said. The FBI said Feb. 27 it was investigating two California youths as part of a probe into a hacker break-in of non- classified Pentagon computers.
