A travel reservation website used by several federal agencies was hacked last week, directing unsuspecting users to a malicious domain, according to a report in Computerworld.com.

Sometime before Feb. 11, hackers breached the site, then modified it to redirect users to a rogue URL that in turn directed attack code against their systems, the General Services Administration said in an email to federal workers.

GSA spokesman Robert Lesino confirmed the GovTrip breach, and said "the incident was quickly identified." He also said that no user information was believed to have been compromised.

GovTrip is used by several U.S. government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Transportation and the Treasury Department to make travel reservations, as well as to reimburse workers for travel expenses. The site is operated by defense contractor Northrop Grumman from a Northern Virginia office.
