Edwards AFB shutdown From the Washington Times: Computer systems at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., were shut down this week as a result of the "Blaster" computer worm. The desert base is home to the Air Force Flight Test Center, which conducts work on the B-2 and B-1B bombers, the airborne laser, the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle, the new F-22 Raptor jet fighter, the Joint Strike Fighter and other high-tech weapons. "We stopped access to our base computer network Monday about 2 p.m. because of the Blaster worm," said Air Force Lt. Col. Kerry Humphrey, a base spokeswoman. "We don't know how much damage was done, but we're slowly but surely getting our system back on line." posted by mt at 09:09 http://www.washtimes.com/national/inring.htm http://blog.qaddisin.com/ or google search on: Edwards AFB shut down Thanks, Ron DuFresne -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ admin & senior consultant: darkstar.sysinfo.com http://darkstar.sysinfo.com "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.
