useful information. The Foreign Affairs article, Pentagon officials said, is the first on-the-record disclosure that a
|
foreign intelligence agency had penetrated the U.S. military's classified systems. In 2008, the Los Angeles Times
|
reported, citing anonymous Defense officials, that the incursion might have originated in Russia.
|
The Pentagon operation to counter the attack, known as Operation Buckshot Yankee, marked a turning point in U.S.
|
cyberdefense strategy, Lynn said. In November 2008, the Defense Department banned the use of flash drives, a ban
|
it has since modified.
|
Infiltrating the military's command and control system is significant, said one former intelligence official who spoke on
|
the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. "This is how we order people to go to war. If
|
you're on the inside, you can change orders. You can say, 'turn left' instead of 'turn right.' You can say 'go up' instead
|
of 'go down.' "
|
In a nutshell, he said, the "Pentagon has begun to recognize its vulnerability and is making a case for how you've
|
got to deal with it."

|
If you are not a McAfee Virus Scan Engine
|
customer and your anti-malware vendor
|
does not provide comprehensive detection
|
for Aurora binaries, you can perform
|
filename and md5 hash searches on your
|
servers to determine if you have any
|
matches that way. You should ensure that
|
the md5 hash matches along with the
|
filename to avoid false positives, as the
|
filenames themselves are not unique and
|
are very common Windows OS and other
|
legitimate program filenames. The list of
|
files and hashes is as follows:
