Pentagon e-mail: 0w3nd
CNN reported yesterday that the Pentagon’s e-mail system was broken into. A Pentagon spokesman confirmed that systems that is attached to email was penetrated. The Pentagon announced they took e-mail servers offline to protect the system. the attack was targeted at Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ 3,000 employees. It appears about half of those users lost e-mail service during that time.
The system controlled unclassified information, so it is said. They also said that “the system carries “routine email” involving administrative manners but not classified information related to military operations.”
There was no information put out there that alluded to whether the person(s) attacking the system had access to the e-mails and could read them.
Perhaps this was done as a political protest, perhaps not. I’m sure that these evil-doers will see justice. The Pentagon will smoke them out of their holes. Or maybe they’ll never find them and invaded another country.
