2008 Pentagon Breach: Malicious Code Exposes US War Plans and Defense Data

A senior Pentagon official will outline the anatomy of a 2008 attack on its military's Central Command system, which he admits was triggered by a booby-trapped thumb drive.. Malicious code, which escaped US security systems, had found its way into key Defense networks after the thumb-drive was inserted into a laptop in the field. The trap helped expose US war plans in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been described as the "most significant" military security breach in history. "That code spread undetected on both classified and unclassified systems, establishing what amounted to a digital beachhead, from which data could be transferred to servers under foreign control," US Deputy Defense Secretary William J Lynn III, wrote in an essay for Foreign Affairs previewed by the New York Times and Washington Post. The link for this article located at IT News AU is no longer available. . In a notable cybersecurity incident, classified NATO documents were leaked in 2011 due to a compromised laptop infected by a malware-ridden USB stick..
