Look at what I found on / .

HACKERS BREACHED US ARMY SERVERS

An anonymous reader writes "A Turkish hacking ring has broken into 2 sensitive U.S. Army Servers, according to a new investigation uncovered by InformationWeek. The hackers, who go by the name 'm0sted' and are based in Turkey, penetrated servers at the Army's McAlester Ammunition Plant in Oklahoma in January. Users attempting to access the site were redirected to a page featuring a climate-change protest. In Sept, 2007, the hackers breached Army Corps of Engineers servers. That hack sent users to a page containing anti-American and anti-Israeli rhetoric. The hackers used simple SQL Server injection techniques to gain access. That's troubling because it shows a major Army security lapse, and also the ability to bypass supposedly sophisticated Defense Department tools and procedures designed to prevent such breaches."

That's fairly troubling, but it's not like they're spying on the Pentagon or anything. Still, there's more than enough room for you up here! :3

You're right hooded, but what concerns me is the vulnerability of the army's servers. To me, this is an example.

It's not troubling, seems more like they just got access to a couple of the web servers, which aren't going to contain any "sensitive information"

Yeah, they dont let it get spread through the internet, they just leave it on usb keys and sell them in pawn shops

HEH

Most military "web sites" that are publicly available have absolutely no tie-in with their internal intranet servers. I know this because I toured the CF data center with Cadets (it also makes sense).

Come live up here with me anyways Selentic!

[Heathen]

UH, Sel isn't OP.
And he is already Canada right?

Also, ya, why on earth would they connect their site to their sensitive information?

[Cortexian]

Oh well, in that case I don't fucking care. I thought this thread was cool... Sanctus you need to stay where you are because we can't have worry warts like you all up in her'.

I was just trying to grab attention with the title. I did read another article somewhere that some sensitive information was actually stolen by hackers in a separate incident. The IP Address was in China, but the article also said that if they're good enough to steal sensitive information, they can mask their IP Address. I can't remember which site it was on though. It might have been slashdot... or popular science maybe. I can't remember.
