BBC server taken over by Russian hacker at Christmas :
. The BBC has been targeted by hackers in the past, including a cyber-attack on its Persian service.
. A Russian hacker secretly took over a computer server at the BBC before Christmas and tried to sell access to it to other hackers.
. It's unclear whether the hacker found any buyers or took any data, but being able to sell such access can be used by hackers as a bargaining chip to get control of other, more important servers.
. The attack was carried out against ftp.bbc.co.uk, a computer server that manages file uploads and downloads from the BBC.
