Mapping The CIA Nonclassified Network

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-with-data-extrapolation dept.

jeffy124 writes "A security firm Matta Security in London has mapped the CIA non-classified network. Using only legal and open sources, the company mapped topology of machines and even found networks otherwise closed to the public. The company never port scanned or probed the network directly. Among items they found were emails and phone numbers of sys admins and other employees. Amazingly, they did all this in two days."
