xposted from ICPL: NYT article on long running Cisco and research labs / TeraGrid intrusion case

["H. Morrow Long" <morrow.long () YALE EDU>]

This is the case which was reported in April of 2004 when the
TeraGrid and several research labs and supercomputer facilities
reported breakins.  Apparently it was also related to the theft
of source code from Cisco as well as breakins at other military,
NASA and governmental sites.

The culprit apepars to be a Swedish teenager (from Uppsala) and
their primarily intrusion method appears to have been guessing
and gathering passwords from/for SSH.
