The Large Hadron Collider at Cern has been hit by hackers, raising big concerns about the IT used on the project, according to reports.

The Telegraph has reported that a group called the ‘Greek Security Team’ hacked into the facility and posted a warning about weaknesses in the project’s massive IT infrastructure.

It said that the hackers left a message on the collider’s network which described the technicians working on the project as “schoolkids”, giving a warning that they were not to be messed with.
