Hackers spur shutdown of computer server for Navy
But the weekend incident was embarrassing to SPAWAR, the San Diego-based Naval command that serves as the information technology provider for the entire U.S. Navy.
Booz Allen has been working closely with SPAWAR, known officially as the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, to develop a Web site featuring public information about SPAWAR. That Web site was subjected to a similar cyber attack on April 22, about a week before the electronic raid on Booz Allen.
