US Navy site hacked
p2pnet.net News:- Chinese based hackers have for the third time in five months attacked a US Department of Defense computer network, says Strategy Page.
“In mid-November, the U.S. Navy’s War College had to shut down it’s computer network because, as one instructor explained to his class, Chinese hackers had gotten in, and the Naval War College servers had to be scrutinized to see what was taken, changed or left behind,” says the story.
The Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command in Norfolk, “detected the intrusion around Nov. 16 and took the system offline, spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Doug Gabos said,” says Associated Press. “He said the unclassified network was used by students.
“Military spokesmen would not give an estimate on when the school’s Web site, http://www.nwc.navy.mil, will be back up.”
