The computer network that runs the Nasdaq Stock Market has  been penetrated by hackers multiple times during the past year,  according to a newspaper report.           
The Wall Street Journal reported on its website late Friday that  federal investigators are trying to identify the perpetrators and their  motive.
People familiar with the investigation say the exchange's trading  platform, the system which executes trades, was not compromised,  according to the report.
A person involved in the Nasdaq investigation told the newspaper that  so far the perpetrators "appear to have just been looking around."
Nasdaq officials declined to comment. A telephone message left with  the FBI's office in New York was not immediately returned.
