		Pentagon computers are under a "coordinated, organized" attack from hackers, according to Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pennsylvania, who held a classified hearing on the problem.
		Pentagon sources say investigators traced a number of the attacks to sites in Russia, but it was not known whether the sources were government or non-governmental.
		Pentagon officials say no classified computer systems have been breached, but Rep. Weldon said there was fear that the attackers may have penetrated systems that could lead to access to classified systems.

	Pentagon admits security breach but won’t say who did it \| NetworkWorld.com Community
		The rattling of cyber swords could be heard today as the Pentagon confirmed computer hackers had gained access to an unclassified e-mail system in the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but then declined to say the Chinese army was responsible for it.
		Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said that an attack did occur in June but declined to identify the origin of the threat.
		It is often difficult to pinpoint the true origin of an intrusion into computer systems and even more difficult to tie the intrusion to a specific nation or government, he said.

	Datastream Cowboy
		If the paranoid North Koreans detected a computer attack on their nuclear facility from an American air base - because Datastream Cowboy had assumed an American military identity by routeing his assault through the Griffiss computer - they would be bound to believe that the hawks had won and this was an act of war.
		According to official American figures, the Pentagon's military computers are now suffering cyber attacks at the rate of 250,000 a year and it is retaliating with a $3.6 billion programme of computer protection to key systems.
		If all the air force officers with access to the computer had followed orders and used passwords with a mixture of numerals and letters, his attack would have been foiled; but luck was on his side.

		The Pentagon security breach and Monday's attack may have brought the danger of computer security to the attention of newspaper editorial writers and the general public.
		At the Pentagon and other government sites, classified information is protected by a so-called "air wall," which means it is stored in computers not accessible through an external network.
		Another point of contention between the computer industry and the government is the government's refusal to allow the export of strong encryption technologies and its desire to maintain encryption keys in government escrow.

	Security Scene Errata
		SAN FRANCISCO (Wired) [2.26.98] - The disclosure by the Pentagon that "cyber attacks" had been waged against at least 11 military computer systems is either politically motivated scaremongering or evidence of technical ignorance, system administrators and computer security experts say.
		Pentagon public affairs officials refused to provide a transcript of the meeting, or comment on what was said.
		All high-profile computer systems are commonly queried by curious computer users running programs such as "port scanners" that knock on network doors, and only identify if any are open.

		Just as computers have flattened the organizational charts of corporations, the military may have to restructure its ranks with fewer layers of staff officers needed to process orders between a general and his shooters on the ground.
		While the military's actual war-fighting computers are generally deemed secure, those supporting other vital areas--such as payroll, personnel, transportation and spare parts--are handled by poorly guarded Pentagon computers linked by scantily protected public-communications channels.
		The toughest Pentagon computer to crack is the first one; once inside, nearly 90% of the other computers linked to the first computer will recognize the intruder as a legitimate user.

		The media reaction and misinformation on the topic quickly drove anti-virus experts to the realization that every computer fault that occurred on March 6, Michelangelo's activation day, would be blamed on the virus, even if it was nowhere to be seen, making the day rather longer than it should be.
		To put this in perspective, and if one is to take the declarations of Pentagon mandarins seriously, it has now become feasible for fourteen year-old hackers and virus-writers to regularly engage in trivial activities that make the Pentagon flinch, as _long as they get the media to believe them first_.
		Some Pentagon leadership-types now in charge of computer security can be bullied into considering surrendering a computer service simply by the implied threat of teenagers and other unnamed cyber-menaces.
