The "unprecedented" cyber-attack on French television channel TV5Monde represents a major "step up" in the Internet warfare being waged by highly specialised jihadist hackers, experts said Thursday.
Since January's three-day Islamist attacks in Paris that killed 17 people, hackers have launched hundreds of assaults on French websites, from denial of service attacks that snarl up web traffic to full-scale hacks.
But taking over a television channel and blocking programming—as happened to TV5Monde—is another matter entirely, experts believe, an "unprecedented" attack, according to the station's boss Yves Bigot.

Most corporations have really crappy security. So this TV station got taken for ride which make them scream and curse. And some time later it will be like it used to be because they simple won't learn and implement system security.
If there's any intelligent life out there. This should be taken as a hint to at least learn and implement security. Otherwise just be okay with your system being p0wned from time to time.
