Assault on US Military Info via Email

by marileev9 . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

CNET’s story on accused terrorist webmaster Syed Talha Ahsan shows that the military needs to always be a step ahead of the terrorists http://news.com.com/U.K.+Webmaster+accused+of+aiding+terrorists/2100-1028_3-6096818.html?tag=cd.lede

Most interesting in the story is that Ahsan was able to e-mail with U.S. Naval personnel and obtained then-classified plans of a naval battle group operating in the Straits of Hormuz. Their correspondence even included the group’s vulnerabilities.

The ability to email such sensitive military documents shows the organization’s shortcomings – http://www.essentialsecurity.com/Documents/article15.htm

What else has been emailed out from the military to terrorists?
