The feeling over here is split 50/50.<br /><br />The strange thing, for me, is this: IT people are telling me that it would be extremely difficult to steal that many docs through cracking, for two reasons.<br /><br />One, the docs were not stored on unsecured university servers, they were on a (or several) secure, US gov't computers, which should make it a difficult feat.<br /><br />Two, my IT friend says that to get the large amount of documents, it would take many, many hours of straight downloading. Any such long, sustained file transfer from any file server would automatically trigger alarms to the IT people, who would have immediately yanked the network cables out of the machine(s).<br /><br />There's a growing sense over here that the US gov't deliberately leaked the information, but they couldn't do it via press conference. It had to be seen as theft due to the sensitive nature of the info.<br /><br />Just food for thought...The Shaved Apehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14889474059940193535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-83431377911069383442010-12-06T22:52:22.826+00:002010-12-06T22:52:22.826+00:00I suppose your right, if one guy can cause this mu...I suppose your right, if one guy can cause this much panic, what do other government intelligence agencies have?Steve Butabihttp://www.thelacrosseguy-ide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-7146443782099213882010-12-02T17:10:03.075+00:002010-12-02T17:10:03.075+00:00Oh how they squealed too.Oh how they squealed too.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
