Pentagon Hid Magnitude of Data Loss From Recent Breach
blueton tips us to a brief story about recent revelations from the Pentagon which indicate that the attack on their computer network in June 2007 was more serious than they originally claimed. A DoD official recently remarked that the hackers were able to obtain an "amazing amount" of data. We previously discussed rumors that the Chinese People's Liberation Army was behind the attack. CNN has an article about Chinese hackers who claim to have successfully stolen information from the Pentagon. Quoting Ars Technica:
"The intrusion was first detected during an IT restructuring that was underway at the time. By the time it was detected, malicious code had been in the system for at least two months, and was propagating via a known Windows exploit. The bug spread itself by e-mailing malicious payloads from one system on the network to another."
Ah yes, the snobby Grammar Nazi. One step above the Spelling Nazi.

./ forever... or at least until I can get a few more English courses (hopefully passed this time) at my local community college.
And yet, wow a shocker, it is an ANONYMOUS POSTING
By all means, don't give me any pointers on the grammar, or argue against my positions with rational, educated, and informed discourse... just bash on my child like ability to spell words and arrange them into sentences.... and perhaps a paragraph or two if I feel really ambitious.
Your Are CORECT SIR! I hudle in fear at your masterfull use of grammar and it's ability to prove me arguments wrong based on that alone.
You have shamed me off
LOL
