Blood Bank attack was simulated
I knew a hacker wasn't gonna go change blood types in medical records. What
was the point? The DOD today announce that the attack earlier attributed to
hackers was in fact a special 'Red Team' excerise designed to "demonstrate
potential impacts" of real hack attacks.

Finnally someone is telling the Government what hackers have known for years. Windows NT is not secure! At least when it comes to C2 compliance. Hopefully the Navy and others will wake up in time, before they spend billions of our money to install it.

Updated!
It seems hypocritical of the US Government to be releasing pr0n to the public (i.e. Kenneth Star Report) and at the same making such actions criminal.
The Child Online Protection Act (CDA II) (H.R. 3783 and S. 2326) requires web admins to limit access to material considered 'harmful to minors'. The bill has passed the full Commerce Committee and is on its way to the House. Looks like they have been to busy infighting and dealing with Monica to get to it this session. Woohoo!
