Pentagone

[Pic0o]

As much as I try to avoid it (siting Fox News), someone must have slipped up, as Fox News has info about some infections spreading all around the Pentagon sniffing and jacking b0xes.

 

"Daily there are millions of scans of the GIG, but for security reasons we don't discuss the number of actual intrusions or attempts, or discuss specific measures commanders in the field may be taking to protect and defend our networks," the department said in an official statement.

 

Military computers are often referred to as part of the Global Information Grid, or GIG, a system composed of 17 million computers, many of which house classified or sensitive information.

 

FOX News obtained a copy of one memo sent out last week to an Army division within the Pentagon warning of the cyber attack.

 

"Due to the presence of commercial malware, CDR USSTRATCOM has banned the use of removable media (thumb drives, CDRs/DVDRs, floppy disks) on all DoD networks and computers effective immediately."

 

Needless to say, I would have figured the Pentagon had a Policy in place for Removable Drives, but they sure do now. :lol:

 

Keep this in mind, when Gov't Tells you they Want to Archive all your Private Data. :stab:
