Following the scandal WikiLeaks Julian Assange, many military agencies, under the threat of court martial, banned the use of flash drives, CD and DVD for data storage.
Called the Cyber Control Order, members of the armed forces are to cease and desist the use of removable storage devices connected to the secret data from the Department of Defense SIPRNet network. This is after thousands of classified documents were published.
According to reports, a soldier discharged hundreds of thousands of classified documents on a CD marked as Lady Gaga. I guess I could not see your poker face, either. Then he turned the CD on the site Wikileaks.
Although it was established under the name of security, this new order will be more difficult for members of the armed forces to do their job, and removable media that these were the most common form of information that is transferred from one computer to another. Maybe they just should prohibit Lady Gaga military means.
Any portable devices captured soldiers of the unit may be a court martial under Article 92, failure to obey an order or regulation. I think the army is taking the wrong approach to keep the data sorted out.
The popular Web site Gawker was recently hacked in retaliation Wikileaks treatment. This was no harmless prank, and instead released the source code and private e-mail conversations of employees of Gawker. The real danger is that other hackers can use this information to obtain the passwords of users of Gawker, and some have already been broken. The hackers released a 500-megabyte file and contains information for the world to see. Gawker was not the only web site hacked in the Gawker family, either. Gadget site Gizmodo, and Jezebel pop culture site were also affected by these special hackers. Files containing passwords for users and staff were available at the website, and people were sharing files over bit torrent. Several websites have been hacked recently after the publication of classified information by WikiLeaks and treatment of the founder and the company. Call it Operation Return, the hackers are attacking sites that have denied WikiLeaks and advertising service, Twitter and Gawker and now PayPal.
