Submission + - Pentagon confirms 2008 computer breach

jowifi writes: The New York Times [nytimes.com] reports that the Pentagon has confirmed that, in 2008, a foreign agent instigated "the most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever" using a USB flash drive. While the breach was previously reported on Wired.com [wired.com] and the LA Times [latimes.com], this is the first official confirmation of the attack that led to the banning of USB drives on government computers.

I did the manual install linked in TFA. Using the web browser is so fast now, it's like having a whole new phone. I can read 10 pages in the time it used to take to browse through 3. I quite enjoyed some of the Flash games over at kongregate.com as well.
