- angusm, on 03/07/2008, -2/+77Any hope that we might ever be free of viruses has just died now that it's emerged that even security-cleared employees in the Office of the Secretary of Defense still fall for the old "Click here for nude pictures of Keira Knightley" or "Open this zip file to watch funny kitten video" routine.
What kind of assclowns is the DoD hiring these days anyway? If they can't lock down their network and they can't teach their people not to open the ***** attachments _and_ it takes two months for them to even notice that they're wide open, the Chinese deserve our fricking secrets. Maybe we should just print everything out and mail it to Beijing to save them the trouble. - OBDriftwood, on 03/07/2008, -0/+63Sounds like the feds need to spend less time spying on us and more time spying on themselves.
- mrloco, on 03/07/2008, -0/+43They should have tried the no password trick.
DUH. - yodaj007, on 03/07/2008, -1/+40I felt a great disturbance on the Internet, as though millions of system admins were slapping their foreheads in unison and suddenly stopped. I feel something terrible has happened.
- teotwawki, on 03/07/2008, -9/+47But Windows is so secure! How could this have happened? It's... it's... incomprehensible
- ceruleanocte, on 03/07/2008, -1/+37That's what happens when you don't click the yellow shield with the exclamation point!
- fsjenkins2000, on 03/07/2008, -1/+29An "amazing amount" is equal to.
A. A *****
B. A *****
C. A ***** *****
D. A Dumptruck full of ***** ***** - vondrak, on 03/07/2008, -1/+29If Megatron gets the allspark we're *****!
- airencracken, on 03/07/2008, -6/+31Should have used Linux.
- elamr, on 03/07/2008, -1/+24so much for 1Trillion dollars on National Security.
- RealmDown, on 03/07/2008, -0/+20Do not underestimate the power of stupidity.
- rdas7, on 03/07/2008, -12/+31Did they call Jack Bauer?
- canthraxp, on 03/07/2008, -0/+18Check out this cute image (stupid amelican!)
Zhing chen lao wants to initiate a file transfer with you:
cute_kittens.jpg.exe (260 kb)
(Accept, Decline) - wtfunkymonkey, on 03/07/2008, -0/+17E. 42 Metric *****
- norman619, on 03/07/2008, -1/+16Why aren't they running Unix systems like most colleges?
- Ruger11mcrdpi, on 03/07/2008, -1/+15*pictures a Pentagon IT tech angrily clicking "Remind me Later" at the Norton pop-up telling him his virus protection is out of date.
- trer, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13"Now what did I do with that list of Social Security Numbers?"
"Try checking that table over there with the Nuclear launch codes." - jesuswuzanalien, on 03/07/2008, -5/+18Haha windows FTL.
- supermanred, on 03/07/2008, -1/+13Why does the Pentagon use Windows? Most of the White House, if not all by now is running on OS X and Linux. Why in God's name would you run anything inside the PENTAGON on Windows?
Stupid. - Subriot, on 03/07/2008, -0/+12Government clearly does not know how to internet.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+12Um seeing as it was a known exploit with a patch.... lousy IT staff !
- Exekutor, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10Torrent?
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10why the ***** is the pentagon running windows?
- usingpond, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10The Pentagon's privacy invaded? How ironic.
- Waiting2awake, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10I know it is a very serious situation - but that made me laugh.
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10They are not running UNIX?
- AirJunkie420, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10I can't believe the Pentagon lied to us. I feel soiled and violated.
- airencracken, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10They hacked the Gibson!!!
- dcbebop, on 03/07/2008, -1/+11Fire every sysadmin who works at the pentagon immediately ...
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -3/+13Ah yes, the stupid defense. Bush's greatest tool, invented by Reagan. "Iran contra who?"
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -7/+16windows, lol
- norman619, on 03/07/2008, -1/+10Crappy IT staff?
- sockpuppets, on 03/07/2008, -1/+9Inconceivable!
- inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8"compartmentalization" and "subcontractor" might help you get there
- CrazedLeper, on 03/07/2008, -3/+10Bull(*sneeze*)it!
After the 9/11 fakery, I'll never believe a single word that comes out of that building. If the Pentagon says the sky is blue I shall forever regard it green. - nihilite, on 03/07/2008, -0/+7he shot a lawyer... i mean.. i respect the instinct, but... jesus.
- MrViklund, on 03/07/2008, -9/+15First. Should not Pentagon, if anyone, know how to protect themselves?
Second. If they have machines with sensitive data connected to the Internet they need to take some basic classes.
Third. Why the heck are they running Windows?
Anyway. It's USA and pentagon. What do I care. - aaabatteries, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I thought the government switched back to Solaris?
not saying they are, I'm just curious...NASA runs their servers on Solaris I know and Red Hat for workstations. - DanBoodro, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7I know really. Seems like the only reasons why these places get hit so much is because they use Windows and there's some "Windows exploit" that wasn't patched up. Stop blaming the software companies and start using some common sense...Linux.
- pirving27, on 03/07/2008, -2/+8I would love to see the pentagon's list of priorities if they even have one.
#1 Track and maintain surveillance of all humans on the face of the earth.
#390402094 Protect ourselves by hiring people that actually know what they are doing. - munkeyhatecleen, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6Hi, I'm here for the Keira Knightley pics? Maybe you could point me to that link?
- nihilite, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6i thought reagan's defense was "I know you are but... where am I?"
- sicilian890, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5you forgot to mention you were being sarcastic, right?
- briLo, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5How the ***** does the Security Admin not notice a couple thousand machines sending data out to a single IP address?!!?!?!????????????? I could understand for a day or so but two months?!!??
Are you guys hiring?!?!?? - inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5ROFL. Good one, mean but good.
- supermanred, on 03/07/2008, -2/+7Of course they are connected to the internet, that's how they get information out to their field agents in encrypted form. Why do you THINK they didnt give up control of the internet backbones? When it came time to basically give control of the internet to a world body, the US basically said... ummm no ***** you, we're controlling this mofo.
- 3leggedHorse, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5All your data are belong to us.
- Dubbsacc, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Accept! I love cute kittens...
No, I don't work for DoD, so it wasn't my fault. - 955701, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Good idea. If the US Government owned the entire Internet, then the next time someone breaks into a DOD subnet and steals everything, the response could be "it's not stolen, it's just on another computer".
