FBI, US Marshals Hit By Virus

Posted by Soulskill on from the nothing-tommy-lee-jones-can't-handle dept.

Norsefire writes "The FBI and US Marshals were forced to shut down part of their computer network after being hit by a 'mystery virus.' FBI spokesman Mike Kortan said, 'We are evaluating a network issue on our external, unclassified network that's affecting several government agencies.' Nikki Credic, spokeswoman for the US Marshals, said that no data has been compromised but the type of virus and its origin is unknown."

    I have an aquaintence that feels its should be considered patriotic to oppose your government at every step, no matter the flavor of politics in office that term. I voted Obama, but I'm getting worried and a little tired of the lovefest that the press is giving him. They should be questioning why he leaves in place all the worst aspects of the Bush administration. They should be trying to find dirt. The press and the American people should be the loyal opposition for EVERY administration.
