"WASHINGTON (AP) - Law enforcement computers were struck by a Mystery computer virus Thursday, forcing the FBI and the U.S. Marshals to shut down part of their networks as a precaution. The U.S. Marshals confirmed it disconnected from the Justice Department's computers as a protective measure after being hit by the virus; an FBI official said only that that agency was experiencing similar issues and was working on the problem."

I was waiting for this to be posted.. Thanks!
Of course we’ll never know just what was really compromised..

"At no time was data compromised," said Credic. The type of virus and its origin were not determined.

Don’t worry, only all the ACORN multistate voter-fraud records were affected, nothing important. [/sarc]

Quick. Let’s put everyone’s complete medical records where such viruses can find them. And give new meaning to the term a “hacking cough.”

The situation is more serious than we thought. Computer viruses have mutated to communicability to humans.

At one time Kim Komando was a strong proponent of OS/2. OS/2 was better than Windows in so many ways including security.
But IBM sold out (criminally, in my opinion).

The virus affected the FBI database search function too.
When you type in: "Sexual deviants who need to be arrested" into their search engine, this picture comes up.
When you type in Responsible for Bad Loans and Worldwide Financial Crisis in there, this picture of suspects comes up:
Also, the crime search for Leaking National Security Information yields this:
