Hi, I've been hearing rumours of an alledged compromise of the NSA Web server but no hard evidence. The claim made is that several Mb of files were downloaded from the server and posted to the "Internet". I can't see it in sci.crypt or alt.conspiracy though. I am more than a little skeptical of the claim, unless the files in question were not considered sensitive - and there is no reason to believe that the NSA would be keeing anything secret on their Web server. Banks do not keep money stuffed under mattresses and the NSA does not keep secrets on Internet servers. The origin of the rumour may be an "observation" that the DOJ hack was on the 19th August, the CIA one on the 19th of September. It is no secret that several sites were watching out for attacks on the 19th October. Has anyone heard anything more than a rumour of this alledged event? Phill
