LOL, is this really newsworthy? It's just the student network. Someone might have had their MP3 collection raided.
Oh, that is a bit different, isn't it?
FYI: Students at the Naval War College are 0-5 Navy and sister service officers (Commanders & Lieutenant Colonels) that are the cream of the crop destined to wear stars.
And what might their job be? Sounds like it's not working too well.
lol, wish there wes an undo button on this thing... ^_^
My info has it that there are around 9,000 attacks on military networks daily. Most of these are innocent or accidental attempts to gain access. Other are those that are curious about if they can penetrate and there are those from hostile countries.
What fun would that be? ;)
