    Hackers have managed to penetrate the network used by the organisation that oversees the net.

    Icann, which administers the net's addressing system, said spoofed emails were used to reach an internal network.

    The attackers used this access to steal lists of contact and login information for people who control some of the net's most popular domains.

    Icann said it had notified people that their data may have gone astray and asked them to change their passwords.
