Trust me, there are no unprotected NT servers sitting around at Army Installations. Besides, even if there were some NT servers with security holes in them.... our routers have the ports blocked. Not that the technical jargon matters much, but since the Chinese Hacker Scare last May, DOD and the Govt have locked down pretty good. I know, I see our efforts paying dividends every day.

ACERT is a good place to look if you have concerns about computers.

Are there people in the U.S. government who might bring a laptop home, say, and connect it to a LAN at their house? What about an official who connects to a government computer from home but has perhaps had a Trojan-horse keystroke logger installed on his home machine. I'm sure things are much better protected now than they were before the "hackers' war" in 2001, but still.... There are many ways to skin a cat. [And, notwithstanding the "hackers' war," this isn't about the defacement of web sites.]
