Pentagon loses
defence conference data Nick Farrell / The Inquirer | May 11 2006 RED-FACED FOLK at the Pentagon have had to admit that hackers may have turned over a server stuffed with the details of thousands of people who have attended its conferences. Most of those who had their information nicked had applied online to attend the August 2001 Defense Department conference on health-care fraud. According to the Washington Post the data included Names, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, employer identification and other personal information. The data was stored on a server which was broken into on April 28. It was discovered when routine monitoring had discovered "unusual activity" at the Tricare Management Activity. This agency administers health-care benefits for about 9.2 million active-duty and retired military personnel and their families. Although the main database was not hacked into, the data on the conference server was compromised, spokesPentagonals coughed. ---------------------------------------------------
