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.
