I was responsible for securing the CERT network from 1998 until 2001. I was made fully aware of all security incidents relating to the network up until that point. I know personally everyone who was responsible for maintaining the CERT network before (and after) me. To my knowledge the CERT network has never been compromised.
I suspect Kevin compromised a network close to the CERT network (as there were quite few university machines that wouldn't have been secured at the time).
