January 5, 2008 - "Most of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s official web sites were offline for several hours after hackers got into the state’s computer system Friday morning. Mia DeVane, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania state Office of Administration, says hackers using a domain registered in China introduced a virus into the state’s computer system. To make sure it didn’t spread, most of the state’s web sites were taken down. She says most were back up as of late Friday afternoon: “Someone hacked into what we would refer to as a back door. There’s no indication of any real damage or any data that’s been compromised at this point.” But she said state officials were still assessing the situation. DeVane says four state departments – Education, Labor and Industry, the Pennsylvania Lottery, and the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs – experienced problems."

"…DeVane said Pennsylvania's information technology officers learned during a conference call held by the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center that four other states and one state university had been attacked in a similar manner."
