AROUND THE NHL

NHL officials are trying to find who disabled the league’s official Web site.

Tom Richardson, general manager of the NHL’s Interactive Cyber Enterprises, said it was uncertain if one or more hackers had gotten into the site, NHL.com.

The league said it had filed a formal complaint with the FBI, in addition to asking several security firms to help halt the attack.

“It’s a very serious situation,” he said. “We are taking all steps necessary to get to the bottom of this and find the culprit or culprits.

“We are in the midst of our playoffs and we are very disappointed that this has happened at such an inopportune time. We have notified authorities to try and filter out the bogus requests.”
