"On a Thursday morning in May [2005], as some three dozen sailors in uniform and a handful of tieless civilians gathered around, the briefing officer delivered the news: There had been a Category 1 incident at a large local Navy installation. For the assembled group, a Category 1 was serious business--not the low end of the scale, like the one hurricane trackers use. Someone out there in cyberspace had seized control of a couple of the Navy's network computers. Incidents of this magnitude could damage equipment, scramble data or even result in harm to sailors." (VIRGINIAN-PILOT) This article describes cyberattacks on Navy computers and examines how the Navy is fighting these attacks.
