OTTAWA — Determined computer hackers broke through federal firewalls several times last year, gaining access to Defence Department networks.
A newly obtained report on security breaches at the department in 2003 also reveals dozens of internal lapses. Computer security has become a high-profile concern in federal circles in light of cyber-terrorism, operations mounted by foreign intelligence services and, more often, the sloppy practices of employees.
The Defence Department's Computer Incident Response Team tracked a total of 160 events - from digital break-ins to dodgy e-mail procedures - last year.
Great. :roll: I guess in all fairness, it's hard to secure a network of C64's. :lol:
