“The Pentagon has suffered from a cyber attack so alarming that it has taken the unprecedented step of banning the use of external hardware devices, such as flash drives and DVD’s, FOX News has learned. The attack came in the form of a global virus or worm that is spreading rapidly throughout a number of military networks. ‘We have detected a global virus for which there has been alerts, and we have seen some of this on our networks,’ a Pentagon official told FOX News. ‘We are now taking steps to mitigate the virus.’ The official could not reveal the source of the attack because that information remains classified.” [editor’s note: The only question is, why the Pentagon? Hitting the IRS, the Treasury or the Federal Reserve would have a much greater effect on things! - SAT] (11/20/08)
