FBI E-Mail Server Breached

voma writes "The FBI said Friday it has shut down an e-mail system that it uses to communicate with the public because of a possible security breach. The bureau is investigating whether someone hacked into the www.fbi.gov e-mail system, which is run by a private company, officials said. 'We use these accounts to communicate with you folks, view internet sites, and conduct other non-sensitive bureau business such as sending out press releases,' Special Agent Steve Lazarus, the FBI's media coordinator in Atlanta, said in an e-mail describing the problem."

As you know, nobody ever got fired for buying a MS product. But people should get fired for installing unproven, unreliable software that they think is any good because they run it at home behind a Linksys router to download copyrighted content.
