A group of U.S. and European hackers said today it had accessed a U.S. Senate computer server and backed up the boast by posting computer files obtained in the attack on the Internet.

LulzSec, a hacker activist group made up of former members of the hacker organization Anonymous, said it had also broken into the networks of Bethesda Softworks and released sign-ons and passwords of users of a pornography website.
