I thought it might be worth quoting something from my most recent
Congressional testimony (available as <http://homes.cerias.purdue.edu/
~spaf/usgov/newHASC.pdf> that I think is the most important overall
point about any incursions into DoD systems:
If this variety and magnitude of incidents were to occur to physical
resources – unauthorized
access to sensitive data, disclosure of personnel information,
significant fraud, espionage, and
degradation of function – there would be widespread outcry,
investigation, and significant
disciplinary action against those in charge. Unfortunately, we have
developed an attitude and
culture that views failures and compromises of important computing
systems as inevitable and
acceptable. This is dangerous, and threatens the future economic and
military safety of the
country.
