-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via UPI. [snip] The U.S. military remains on heightened cyber-alert as the holiday season approaches, following at least one intrusion by suspected Chinese military hackers. The Joint Task Force for Global Network Operations, a part of U.S. Strategic Command, raised the U.S. military's global cyber-alert level, or "Information Condition," from InfoCon 5 to InfoCon 4 on Nov. 17, and had no plans to lower it, Strategic Command Spokeswoman Capt. Caroline Wellman told United Press International. "We don't discuss specific details of InfoCon levels, nor why they are raised or lowered," Wellman said, adding only that they were adjusted from time to time, in part "depending upon world-wide social and political events and activities." The heightened alert came the day after the decision of the Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command to take the computer network at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I., offline following an intrusion.
