By the way, there was a thing in the Yahoo/Reuters feed about "attacks" on DoD computers; apparently British police arrested a "hacker" the other day. Anyway, the article included a claim that there have been 250,000 attempted break-ins on DoD computers over the past year. Does anybody know how they count that?
Nope, especially since they claimed a large percentage of those attacks went "unnoticed". I fail to see how they can know they happened if they went unnoticed. They also neglected to mention exactly what consitutes an "attack" or breakin attempt. Some people far more cynical than the average sheep would claim that report was used as a tool to justify new massive expenditures to congress and the public. //cerridwyn//
