    It's bad enough that hackers could compromise multiplayer servers for a number of popular first-person shooters, but it's potentially even worse that they could use the same knowledge to infiltrate the U.S. government.

    Luigi Auriemma and Donato Ferrante, two researchers from ReVuln, a security firm based in Malta, discovered security vulnerabilities in online game servers and presented the vulnerabilities at the NoSuchCon security conference in Paris last week. Although some of the games they cited have waned in popularity, exploits of the same vulnerabilities could target similar architectures in government training and recruitment programs.
