Wait, not again? The Washington Post is reporting on this email breach story today. I may be confused but, this appears to be the same story that broke two months ago.
The Pentagon on Tuesday said computer hackers gained access to an unclassified e-mail system in the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but declined comment on a report that the Chinese army was responsible.
The security breach occurred late last spring when Defense Department monitors detected the penetration of “elements of an unclassified e-mail system” that was immediately taken off line, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters.
Is this the same breach that was reported on June 22nd? Are Chinese hackers the Pentagon’s new “boogy man”? I’m starting to wonder if this is just a push to get new hardware/software.
