FAA Network Hacked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the in-good-company dept.

coondoggie writes "The Federal Aviation Administration has joined the growing list of government agencies that have had their supposedly safe systems hacked. The agency this week notified about 45,000 employees that one of its servers was hacked into and employee personal identity information was stolen. The FAA was quick to say the server that was accessed was not connected to the operation of the air traffic control system or any other FAA operational system. It did say two of the 48 files on the breached computer server contained personal information about more than 45,000 FAA employees and retirees who were on the FAA's rolls as of the first week of February 2006."

      Slashdot is always behind the times...the CIP device was destroyed over a week ago....or if we still believe that events occur in real time, it was over an hour ago.
