This deserves shouting:
Why would the locations of US missles be available on the Internet? Why the hell is info like that even near a hub that's even remotely connected to a public network?
Not to worry. Just give the secret info to MSNBC and they'll BROADCAST IT - like they did the list of nuclear power facilities being guarded by troops with no mags in their weapons.
Of course, with THEIR ratings, putting something on MSNBC is the next best thing there is to Top Secret. NO-body watches.

I find this very hard to believe. I think it's overblown rhetoric. Classified and unclassified networks are physically separated. I'd like to know how a hacker overcomes that, short of tapping into a line. Undoubtedly the kid got into a sensitive area he wasn't supposed to, but the nation's deepest, darkest secrets? I eagerly await more information on this story.

I think you need a tube. It will tide you over until we find out what this kid actually found out. If it's that there are missile silos in North Dakota, we could all cool our jets a bit. |
I have gone into business peddling my patented Jet Cooling Gel. It gives fast, fast, fast relief from newspaper stories about subjects that most newspaper reporters wouldn't know from Shinola. It prevents high blood pressure and possible heart attack when journalists with liberal arts degrees start writing about highly technical subjects that are out of their league.
